a less than desirable day for my mom.

she was running some errands through the main shopping area. she said the light turned green, she started to go, looked down at the radio or the hvac controls, and BAM. the other two cars in front of her didn't go on green. and a 6,000 pound suburban doesn't stop easy compared to the newer tiny SUV's. she oreo'd the vehicle in front of her into the vehicle at the front of the line. the suburban's airbags went off, radiator punctured, looks like front frame is tweaked. so we're expecting it's totaled. unfortunate, but they were looking at replacing it this coming spring, so the timings not entirely off. they've had that suburban since around 2003, something close to 280k miles. it's ran it's course.

my mom is of course shaken up over all of it, but unharmed.

so my tacoma went to her for the time being until insurance sorts everything out instead of playing the rental vehicle game, and i'm down to driving the sports car for a while in the winter.

after all the excitement with the siblings text chain over the accident, and cleaning out my stuff from the truck so she can take it, i did the same thing. they left my house at 1:00, laid down on the couch to do some christmas shopping, next thing i remember was the dog begging for his dinner at 5:00.

A previous company i worked at never issued the proper PPE for the job, one day the inspector/ QC guy for the company we was contracted to saw me with out PPE in the field, it raised a big stink, until I reminded them that I was wearing ALL company Issued PPE, they again said I wasn't wearing it, so I repeated again, I was wearing ALL company issued PPE, which means since none was issued by the company none was worn, they then realized they screwed up, and they ordered new PPE that day

I kinda want to see this magical chair. Is this some spaceage, zero gravity, no pressure point, butt massaging extasy that the rest of us are not privileged to be aware of?

I can sleep fairly well in most any chair it seems.

The bed, not so much.

I can only guess. The difference between the two is, chair can only fit one person to rest on, the bed can sleep more than one person

The good news: Mounted the plow and hooked the connections up. Everything made the right noises. Bad news: The lifting hydraulic cylinder did not move but the hose was clearly kinked and collapsed. Time to replace the hose and see if that does the trick. Thanks for the suggestions!

@soundman98 , sorry to hear about your mom’s accident, I hope she has no lingering issues from it.

This time of year is the worst for anything like that to happen, throws a monkey wrench into everything.

Good morning everyone, I hope you have a pleasant Sunday

Day three of shoveling for me. Temps in the high 20s… give me temps in the teens any day, makes for a drier snow
