WE ARE FINE!!!
« on: December 22, 2009, 07:17:55 AM »
Some of you have already heard, but for the rest of you. We are just fine. We hit a patch of black ice on Sunday outside of Cedar Rapids Iowa and rolled our truck. Because we had our seatbelts on we both walked away with nothing worse than minor bumps and bruises. Let that be a lesson to you. BUCKLE UP!


The rest of the pics.

Great to here you and the Admiral are safe, and that no one was seriously hurt.

BUT.... If I wanted to look at the bright side of this, and I think you should,  now you can get a bigger truck to pull a bigger boat!  Not to mention that since both will be new you can get them the same color!  ;D   

All kidding aside Paul and Mary I'm glad your OK with nothing but bumps and bruises.   :)

Whoa....holy hell.

Very glad to hear you two are ok.  I guess Sun. was a bad day for injuries.  Kerri busted up her R. Knee pretty good on the ski hill and had surgery yesterday, but that's nothing compared to the damage your truck looks like it took.  Dang.

Well...time to upgrade to a full size truck on the insurances dime!

Glad to hear you both are OK!  A real tribute to the effectiveness of seatbelts.

I can never understand why so many people don't wear seatbelts on a regular basis.  Had you not been wearing them this would probably have been an occupant ejection event with a tragic ending. 

Again, glad to hear nobody was badly injured.

Thanks guys. We'll be coming in a day later then we expected, but I think our bosses can deal with it. Think I can milk the bump on my head for a while.  ;) Paul's all ready looking at replacement trucks.

Anyway, we'll start the serious looking once we get the insurance money. Everyone have a great Christmas.

Paul's all ready looking at replacement trucks.

Remember these few rules when looking;

1) GO BIG or go home.
2) Size Matters.
3) BIGGER is BETTER.
4) If it's too big, your too old.
5) It is the size of the boat and NOT the motion of the ocean.

How do you measure a "muck"?  Is there a conversion chart for that? LOL

I guess I was so worked up thinking about it that I couldn't even type right.  You have that effect on me. 

I'm not afraid to let the whole world know any more.  Russ...."you complete me."   :P :-*
