I'm also thankful for this community. It's a great group of people from varied backgrounds, all brought together by this hobby. While I have never met most of you in person, I'm glad you are all here. Stay safe if you are traveling and eat until you are uncomfortable!
For me this started out just trying to make a new flat screen TV listenable. Turned out to be a bunch of friends I look forward to seeing a few times a year not to mention a couple of you that I share life with almost daily via texts. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
I'm thankful my wife and I are still with the living. On the way home from the in-laws I was driving about an hour ago, and some doofus tried to pass a grain tractor/trailer in our lane on a yellow line. He had nowhere to go but off-road to his left. Without hesitation and no braking, I went off the road as quick as I realized what was going on- at 45 mph. Luckily the grass there was reasonably flat, and was the flattest spot along that side of the road between ditches, fields, and guard rails. The idiot didn't even stop and check on us. I'm wondering if it was a drunk driver. It all happened so fast, but we and the car appear to be okay. We went back to see if we damaged the yard, but everything seems to be okay there as well. My daughter could have lost both of us tonight, being she was at the in-laws staying over. I'm glad for the result.
Please hug your families, and be grateful and thankful for them.
Glad you and your wife are OK! Hope there's no unseen damage to your car.
I covered so many 10-50 PIs (personal injury accidents) in my years as a TV news guy. Alcohol was all too often a factor and it was rarely a single vehicle accident. Seeing it so often, you develop a unique appreciation of the old saying - Don't drink & drive.
Happy Thanksgiving. My subdivision is under re-construction and they poured the cement for our approaches, sidewalks, and upper driveway sections on Tuesday morning, about 4 hours before it started raining. They sprayed the cement with some type of sealer/curing agent. The rain hit hard and pounded the new cement (1 to 1.5 inches), but no damage. I am thankful for that.
