Angry I hate Pecan trees!!!

I was over at my Dads house today cutting his grass.I parked the Ranger under a tree for the shade and went and cut front yard.Well when I got to the back yard theres this Damn pecan limb on the right side of my Ranger.The limb is about 3" in diamaitor and 20' long.Well it hit right above the rear side glass amd bent the roof right where it turns down to the side of the truck.It bent it in right where the roof meets the side and pushed the roof up a little.and chiped the paint. !!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to get it fixed if I don't it will start leaking. The body shop said $400.00 to fix it,not bad but I got $500 dedutabale on the ins.Man I HATE pecan trees.

I hate to hear about the dent. As far as the insurance I know too well about the 500 dollar deductible. Seems like everything that happens cost 500 or less when you have it.

Whatever it is it's good, eating it as I type. Atleast these pecans will not grow up to be trees.
