    Best way I can think of describing it. Every couple years the titles have to be put up for "election" so we just pass them 'round each time. Next time we have to do it I think I'll end up called the treasurer.

    Received all of my pieces parts from crutch field for my new super duper fancy stereo. I'm 45 and I now feel like I'm 70 when it comes to tech crap and upgrades. I opted to but a new stereo rather than a 9 year old one out of a junk yard that somebody removed with a double bitted axe. Since when do we need a converter for $100 to hook this up? WTF? "in my day" you twisted together 12 wires and shoved it in the dash. Sometimes you got a pair of 6x9's and set them on the rear dash for better sound!

    Goooood Morning Stocktopia.

    Well. Another day, another drama. On Wednesday my daughter excitedly put her new Maine 'support wildlife' plates on her soobie, and sent pics. "Daddy, I'm a Mainuh!"

    On Thursday, the wildlife showed it's appreciation.

    She's 8 months pregnant and she and her fiance closed on a home 3 weeks ago. Not a timely development.

    If you Casco Bay area folks know a body shop you'd recommend, I'll pass it along. No air bags or coolant...so it may not be totalled. who knows. She's in Buxton if that matters. Hard to be far away on days like this.

    Casco bay is an hour and a half away from Hollis…

    Sorry for her encounter.
    At least she is ok i assume.
    Up around here you drive with one eye on the road and the other on the woods.

    Fair point! Just my stupid way of saying 'Portland area folks'.

    She is. Scared of course. Belly too close to the steering wheel. She's small when not pregnant, wears her seat belt. But yeah. The car did it's job.

    A guy told me once ,that when driving in deer country and one crosses in front of you. Don’t watch where it goes, but where it came from, there’s probably more.

    That's the truth. The road between myself and my GF is through a Massive park/preserve, and riddled with Deer. They always travel in pairs at least, and more likely 3-5. Unless it's a buck, who go solo, and who you REALLY don't want to hit. Just saw my first buck (alive) roadside last week. He turned around.

    I've hit two in my life. Both in NH. Both left the car operable but barely. Shitty.

    Never hit one, but put the coffee cup on the dashboard.
