His boss was real good about it and got a hold of his insurance company right away while I was there so I think thing's should go pretty smoothly. The door is sprung at the top so hopefully can beat that into alignment again to seal up. There is also damage to the rocker panel. It is caved in a little bit and a dent on the bottom of the fender.



Well that sucks Troy. That's why we can't have nice things.

Happy foggy Saturday morning. Lynn and I are going snowmobiling today at our friends house near Pine Center. I hope the trails are decent.

Good morning Jay. We are supposed to get some wednesday/thursday. Usually when you get snow, it ends up rain for us. It's going to be a close call

that sucks. Hopefully you can get it all fixed without costing you anything. I bet the inner rocker is bent since the guy bent the steps also. Probably $5000 repair.
