yep you heard it. i have learned to do dog tricks. i have rolled over and laid down. all in one week.
the official story
our recent trip to pismo sand dunes, i was with my oldest daughter and we were having some fun in the dunes. well that came to an abrupt end when i had to make an evasive maneuver to dodge a guy riding a quad, and ended up rolling the truck. we rolled one complete rotation from the drivers side on to our roof and then the passenger side, and right back onto our wheels, where we came to a stop. i had to make sure the insurance company was going to cover the damages since it was declared not my fault before posting the pics. i appreciate everyone who was there for the help and not posting about the accident until now. preliminary damages are starting at $21k so far. im sure they will find more once they take it apart. any sarcastic remarks could have been taken wrong by the insurance company who could have tried to deny the claim based on all of the smart ass comments that are about to fly.
as for the laid down part....
leaving icecobras house saturday after the install party, i was being tailed by a rice burner. since my face shield was covered in bug guts and dead insects, (due to the warm weather) i decided to pull over to let him pass rather than to rally the road. well, it wasnt a good spot. it was a small turnout on the side of a windy road and unfortunately it was gravel. tapped the brakes, and down i went. luckily it was a slow speed lay down, so it is only cosmetic damage, but i did land on my phone, which destroyed it, and gave me a sore leg. it hurts still.... a little bit of road rash where my jacket slid up, and a sore shoulder. but they are getting much better. good thing it was it 10-15 mph. it seems like everytime i try to do something right, i end up paying for it..... i guess the saying "nice guys finish last" holds some value.....
so now i have wrecked 2 of the 3 vehicles we own. the wife is not happy at all. i wonder why?........
