First Body Damage Ever

[John Haggerty]

Ouch! Her first dent.

Today we had a combination of 5" of snow and sleet. I pull her out of the barn, shear a marker light off the roof and locally dent the roof.

The snow and sleet was so stiff that the tire didn't cut thru but rode on top. This caused the truck to hit the overhead beam and cause me to create new words!

Dammit! That sucks- hope it's a relatively easy fix!

Those aren't "new words", I've been known to use them on occasion also. OkieGringo

Fooey.

Hitting the overhead is a real bummer. Stiff stuff if the front-end rode up on top!!

That sucks. My FIL would know how you feel.
He hit the roof of his '05 D-max on a sprinkler
head in an apartment underground. I don't go
anywhere near u/g's with my truck, and my
shop has 9 foot doors on it, so no worries there.

I got a some firewood off the deck and never busted thru this crap. The kids had a blast. Not sure what tonight will bring. Cold temps, snow and wind.

Sorry to hear that John.

Yeah it was crazy frozen snow today, but still made a lot thankfully doin' driveways.

Sorry to hear the body damage. I got the diesel high centered on a drift off a plowed road to a non plowed road and had to rock back and forth 'till the front end bit.

Sorry to hear that John. I also suffered a weather related dent. The big ice pack on the hood of the Moosestang decided to let loose at once and it flew back like a Nascar racer at speed and tumbled onto the roof with a bang loud enough to make you think Anna Nicole Smith's dead body just fell out of an airplane onto your roof. Nice dent just above the windsheild.

John and Mel...

Dang that sucks.

Now come on Mel... Snow and Ice... Are you sure you didn't try pulling into John's garage...

I know I'm always real skeptical of following behind semi's when we have had snow and the temp are right around the 32 degree mark because I have seen some pretty good sized sheets of ice/snow mix come flying off the roof of their trailers. I have always invisioned the pieces to come flying through my windshield. scarey stuff man...

Worse yet, following behind a truck and thinking a piece of frozen crap comes off the mudflap only to realize it was a cinder block and we're traveling 50 mph.:***:
Thank goodness it was in the county vehicle, tire and rim TOASTED!

Yeah that first dent always sucks. I have 2 radiators in stock just for my bad luck deer encounters. 8 deer, 1 pig and a dog under my belt so far.

That actually happened here this week. A girl was killed. PA passed a new law last month holding the driver of the sheading vehicle responsible. Now there is a manhunt for the trucker responsible.

I understand that is a big problem but how in the hell can someone clear the ice and snow off the top a semi trailer. There is no way to get up there and 99.9% of the drivers don't carry a shovel. I sure as hell would not get up there and try to clean the roof with no rails to keep from falling off.

Sorry for my ranting.

My thoughts too.
So we're not supposed to work during the winter months?
I hope the country doesn't run out of beer and food.
Politicians and do-gooders need their heads examined.
