What did you accomplish today?

Nice. '03's don't look like that around here. Snow and salt cakes all over the sides and wheel wells and eats away the metal.

Another reason I like aluminum Fords although my auto body work buddy swears they will eventually rot with splotches of white oxidation spots.
I had just repowered it earlier this year at 300k miles. Didn’t have to, just did it preventatively.

That had to be hellish driving out of there in a fire. I saw that one cell phone vid on CNN with that lady crying for her life.

Your insurance rates were sky high before that fire, right?

You can be insured around here for like $400,000 (house & contents) for around $650 a year.
I carry our vehicle, home, workers comp and $1,000,000 umbrella to cover my work all for about $4500 a year. Maybe a bit more.

I used to have that $1,000,000 thing if anybody gets hurt on my property.

I should probably get that again, it wasn't super expensive.

Your worker's comp has to be expensive. My employer paid that. Reluctantly, I'm sure. But they had to have that in a steel mill filled with sharp edges and hazards.

I'm not required to carry workers comp unless it's certain jobs.

The million dollars I have is for if I break something while working on it. Like if I drill into a wall and hit a pipe or something.

I never even consider carrying it until I was required for a contracting job. It was cheap enough so I kept it.

Thanks y'all. I'll talk later. I'm tore up right now.
My condolences this is heart breaking, I had to put my mutt down the day after thanksgiving and I still shed a tear each day thinking of her. I am so sorry for your loss. She was 16 our last dog picked her out of the pound for us and he did an excellent job. Not sure I can take the loss of another one. I Sat out in front of the vet for over an hour balling away.

We have a couple other dogs. The one that got hit and a Yorkie were inside dogs. The little Yorkie has been crying as well since it happened. Goes out to his grave and howls. Won't eat. It's wierd. Never seen that before. They were best friends.

We've had 2 dogs since around 2005.

When one passes away, the other one left definitely acts different. It's like losing an adopted brother or sister.

We always got another one within 6 weeks because the survivor seemed sad.

I've decided to take a pup from my friend. They are mixed breed and no one wants them.

I tend to like muts over papered dogs.
