Well.... The verdic is in....

As to no suprise the truck is totaled!!

The good news is I get out of a really big payment and get a fair amount of money from this(got to love inflated value!!)!!

Currently I have a 1993 Pathfinder that I'm using along with my work van(suppllied by my work of course) and here in the near future I will be in possession of my Grandpas 1994 F150 that ge bought brand new.

After I get a bunch of bills paid off I see me looking at another Ranger(more specific the Raptor due to front and rear lockers).

With all that said and done I still see myself hanging around for a bit for giving insight on things and whatnot.

I've been visiting/traveling in Southeastern Colorado for the last few days (Tarantula migration anyone?). I've seen most of the trucks around here have armored bars covering the front end. This explains why.

I haven't had to drive much at night, but the black angus on the side of the road are almost invisible. Reminds me of the moose in Maine. Moose are taller than cows so they usually fall on top of the car, killing or severely injuring the occupants.

If the insurance company has to buy the cow, like the truck, they own it. Flo is having a barbecue right now.

Hi Earl,

Do not see many of those little fellows now, but I pick them up and move them to safety if on the roadway.... Try to protect them from the tarantula wasps...nasty flying big bugs...terrible sting for the poor tarantula...paralyzes them and then the wasp lays her eggs on the paralyzed tarantula and when they hatch they eat the tarantula while alive but paralyzed.... YUCK!

Best,
Phil
