Wrecked my truck

If you haven't heard already, we trashed my Excursion on Saturday. With all 3 of our children, and 3 show dogs, John and I headed out for a dog show in Claremore, OK, which is about an hour and a half drive from our house. The weather turned bad about halfway there and we encountered a blizzard. Once the weather turned bad, the show site was about as far as home, so we pressed on...feeling invincible in my one ton 4whl drive.

Long story short, John lost control and headed for a ditch. See that SUV in the photo below? We were going the other way, and skidded across 2 on-coming lanes (thankfully empty at the time)!


See that tin horn on the bottom right? We would have been fine if the rear left tire hadn't hit it. Absolutely no one was injured, human or canine!!!
But my truck wasn't so lucky!


Yeah, it's pretty jacked up. But on the up-side, the mechanics are pretty sure they can fix it! So I'm driving a rental car right now, and hopefull that they'll fix my truck in time for Nationals!
