Friday Night
6:05 pm
Dark Highway
Open field to the East
50 mph speed limit
Truck
Deer
BOOM!
The big dent on the hood is from the deer's head.
The damage to the grill is from the body.
The bumper didn't budge hardly at all.
Dead stupid deer.
The antlers broke off from contact to truck and asphalt.
The nice police officer lady drug it off to the side of the road for safety.
Look at that hair on the bumper.
Pretty sick.
I would show you the poo smear on the driver side but figured I would lose a few Followers of my Blog.
I know my Mamma would appreciate that picture being left out.
Here are the antlers that we picked up out of the street.
The right one broke in pieces but the left looks like a clean whole break.
Truck in shop
Hopefully:
It's declared a "Total Loss"
Brother (owner of truck) gets check
We fix truck (if worth it)
Everybody is happy
Now we are back to one vehicle.
Not too hard with our schedules.
Luckily we only work a mile from each other and only a mile from home.
P.S. I have one huge thing to be thankful for in this mess...Nik wasn't hurt one bit. Thank Heavens.
And for those of you who know me...you know my reaction to this was not as lite as described...I just figured I would save you the details because I bet all of you could picture it yourself. :)

Oh no you killed it!!! Oh wow that's so sad.
ReplyDeleteAnd so is having one vehicle. We each had our own car while dating, and then we got married and Mike's car died. Completely. So for a year we had one car. Me working out on the reservation in Chandler and him going to school at ASU and working in Lehi. We finally forked over the $2,500 to fix his car a month ago and we are saving so much on gas! And Mike doesn't have to spend an extra two hours of his day driving around to get me and such.
Oh DEER is RIGHT!! What a blessing that Nik wasn't hurt!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you TOTALLY know Yo' Mamma!! THANK YOU for not posting the 'poo pic' for the rest of the world to see!! lol ;>
