  I shouldn t have but I did and now work to be done

So if you had a bad day and did a foolish thing, let me tell you about my weekend. Sunday morning I was going home from my local Lowes and was on the edge of the city doing about 30 mph and from nowhere about 2 dozen deer came running from behind me and passed in front of me. I had slowed to about 15 mph when a deer hit my left rear fender on my F250. There's shoulder prints, 3 hoof prints and a nose print all on that side. So much for my cherry F250.

This morning I was plowing snow at one of my rentals. I cleared right up to the house to make it easy for contractors that are doing some quick fix-up before my new tennants move in. Anyway, got to close while turning and the rear blade caught the corner of the house. Vinyl siding was exploding and pieces of wood striping flew. Later while admiring my handy work, I was pushing snow under the close line connected from the house to the garage. It is some nice 5/16 diameter rope close line. Before I knew it, the loader caught it, and it was stretched about 5 foot when it blew. Yanked the hook right out of the house and busted some more siding.

I'd like to start my weekend over.

Iowafun:
I usually try to wait til the ground is semi-hard and drive over the ruts with my wide turf tractor tires. This pushes the high spots down and evens it some. When it has dried, I then go to the garden and get some dirt and fill it in by hand and rake in some grass seed. Before you know it, it will be up and you won't notice the tracks at all.

Got my estimate this morning for the F250 --$1,509.65. The deer got me but I didn't get him.
