Hmm.....worst road trip ever......

400 miles 6 hour drive. get halfway to tired to continue. Stop for night 8 hours of sleep. Crawl out of vehicle in morning to get a drink at gas station. Mugged (I just woke up and could barely see, left knife and gun in truck, guy had his own)....lost 100 bucks.....45 minutes later, travelling 90 down deserted 2 lane highway, Grey Haron decides to cross the road. 25 lb bird into the windshield. I got lucky, he only scractched my hood and bent my wiper arm, blade and assembly. 15 minutes from destination, get pulled over and ticketed for doing 70 in a 60 on an interstate, ALL THIS ON CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!


if that bird had hit a foot higher he would have hit the 2.5 foot crack in my windshield and gone straight through. a foot lower, straight through the radiator. Total loos/damages for 6 hour drive. 350 bucks with gas. a dollar per mile almost.

The biggest problem I have is well all three I mean what kinda cop hands out a ticket on christmas morning, to an American Troop headed home to see his family? Or what kind of *ss mugs an american troop for a measley 100 bucks on christmas and what are the chances of on a 60 mile stretch of open highway, the only bird, hits my windshield. and a big bird at that. (for thosae that do not know, this bird had a 4 foot wingspan, is 3 feet long. can be bigger than a turkey.

 

That was not your day Jimmy Dean, glad it wasn't any worse.

 

no wonder I hate christmas. I cannot stand it, well, except amybe the fun at the end of the day Neitehr myself nor my gal really likes christmas. Too overdone and whatnot, just makes the day worse.

 

Yeah, I hear what you are saying.

 

Jimmy Dean,
The kinda guy that mugs an American G.I. is the biggest form of low life who doesn't deserve the freedoms you are protecting. If that cop had been catching the real crooks (like the mugger) maybe he would not have been so bent on handing out a speeding ticket for 10 miles over!

Sorry Man! Hope things get better.

 

The kinda guy that mugs ANYONE is sorry.
Did you tell the guy you were a troop on your way home?
That may of helped
Sorry that you got a ticket and your truck.
My truck is almost on the road again, so maybe I can come up there and help you out man.

 

> what kinda cop hands out a ticket on christmas morning

The kind that hates picking brains off the highway with a shovel on Christmas morning.

 

Did you tell the guy you were a troop on your way home?

LOL - like any scum thief cares who they rob.

 

I meant the cop, not the theif

 

Glad to here your all right.sounds like you were in a dangerous predicament.

 

Unfortunately I was to tired to do anything about the guy who wanted my money.....andI managed to get away with only ginvin him 100 instead of the 500 I had on me......

BTW it was raining tonight, my windshield wipers suck now. And I almost totaled my truck cause of another idiot. Had some serious chest pains after the scare tonight for about 1/2 an hour.

I came around a turn, on an overpass, face to face with a truck that ws facing backwards half on the sholder half in my lane on the interstate, in a downpour. God bless Ford and bless Bridgestone. If I had either been in an older vehicle without the good anti lock system this 150 has or had cheaper or older tires on it, I woulda hit him head on and caused a pile up......the traffic and what woulda happened had I hit him woulda started a BIG mees guaranteed.
