On Saturday we went up to my parents new place to put the shingles on the back side of the house. After a couple of hours of working, mom went to get us something to eat for lunch. She hadn’t been gone but just a few minutes when my dad’s phone rang w/ her ringtone. Before even answering it, I think we all knew that something had happened.
As she was going around a slight curve, a man backed out into the road without even being able to see if there was any oncoming traffic, and she nailed him. Luckily she was wearing her seat belt and the airbag helped soften the impact a bit. She’s still sore from where the seat belt grabbed her, but thankfully had no serious injuries. After an hour or so, the state trooper came to work the accident. He heard both sides and said that the truck was at fault because it is never okay to back into a main through-way.

Here’s a few pics of what we did today. The temp being in the 90s was a killer, but having plenty to drink sure helped out. We rode up through the mountains to get there on our bikes, and even with the wind from riding, it was about too hot to enjoy the ride. I was hoping we could have left early while it was cooler, but my brother couldn’t pick up his bike from the shop til 9:30, and that ended up being 10:30 before he made it there to get it. The ride back home was much better though. We pretty much traded the heat for the bugs Continue Reading..
My helmet is covered, my shirt was covered

I’ve got my leave request filled out for Tuesday-Friday after Memorial Day weekend and will turn it in today for approval.
My parents are building them a new place in McCaysville Georgia, a very small town about 60 or so miles away from here, so that whenever my dad retires they can move over there and live. They are both from around that area, and love the feeling of a small town rather than Dalton. Dalton’s cons for them are: having just a half acre lot, living in a subdivision, neighbors that have drinking parties and have their music playing til way late at night, gangs, gang graffiti, traffic, etc… I’m used to all of that, but they love McCaysville so much better.
