Well, at least you made it through ok.... that is the important thing.
How did the boat come through the adventure?

Fine - no problems except for a flat tire.

I've been turned into a pansy.

Can't you sue for emotional stress?

LOL!!

Hmmm - that's a thought.

So I'm rolling down the highway with the Ranger in tow cruising along
at 60. Passed an on ramp as I was being passed by a 18 wheeler. Lady
comes zooming down the on ramp yakking on the cell phone (hand held)
not paying attention until she sees me, then instead of slowing down
to enter traffic, she speeds up, cuts right in front of me, clips the
front of the truck. I jack on the brakes - trailer brakes locked up
with the trailer bunny hopping which pushed me over into the 18
wheeler - SCREECH!!

End result, truck totaled, driver's side squished - right front/left
front pushed to the wheels and the bed damn near sheared off.

Oh well - it was a nice truck.

So, this being Mrs. Wave's turn to select a new vehicle, she did.

A luxury pickup. Loaded with the same stuff in her Town Car - leather
seats, seat warmers, moon roof, extended cab, super duper stereo, full
power everything, DVD player of all things - this ain't no pickup
truck - it's a freakin' luxury car masquerading as a pickup truck.

~~sigh~~

I've been turned into a pansy.

Glad to hear you came out of it OK. They should ban cell phone usage when
driving........including hands free. What the hell is so important the we
now find it *necessary* to talk on the phone while driving???????

From now on, we should refer to SW Tom as:

CandyAss Tom.

His nick should match his truck.

Byte me. :)

The funny thing is that Mrs. Wave's logic says that she will be
driving the truck once in a while, thus...

Wimmenz - can't live with 'em, etc., etc., etc. :)

OK...let me get this straight: You are the victim of an assassination

who
caused all this.

That's a little strong I believe. :)

How far does she live from the water? And, youse need some
out of town help?

No - but thanks.

Tom, there are no accidents. Considering your intergalactic stature, there's
no telling who could've sent this hit woman.

It's fine - trailer is fine except for one flat tire.

Damn....you could've been one shredded mofo, what with that Slobovian battle
cruiser cloaked as a tractor trailer.

Good to hear you survived. Sue the crap out of her insurance Co. for
reckless endangerment. You can send my share to my PayPal account.
