Coffee anyone ?

I'm glad he is ok @Baymule , that is scary! Good for the cousin and friends making him go to the hospital to get checked out. Sorry about the truck, but things are replaceable and people are not. It was a good truck that protected him from major harm. Maybe he can salvage a part to remember it with?

If the deer didn't make it, hopefully he gets some venison?

He still has issues from breaking his neck when he rolled his truck 10 years ago. @Bruce you will probably always have to deal with yours. Some injuries are never forgiven.

@Larson Poultry Ranch I don’t think there was much to salvage from that deer. LOL

I got a early morning call yesterday that nobody wants to get. Our son was on his way to work and rolled his truck. 4 deer were in the road, he hit one, swerved, over corrected and the truck started rolling. His cousin is a Groveton police officer, dispatch called him, the state trooper called him and he got there as quickly as possible. DS didn’t want to get in the ambulance, Cousin told the state trooper to wad him up and make him go in the ambulance, that he rolled his truck some 10 years ago and broke his neck. A couple of his friends also showed up and they also insisted that he go to the hospital to get checked out.

The good news is that he is ok, bruised, banged up, but no internal injuries or broken bones. The bad news is he loved that truck and I’d heartbroken. He has a beautiful 2019 Ford King Ranch 1ton dually with 20,000 miles on it and he wished he had been driving that instead. The man loves old trucks.

I got to Lufkin as soon as I could and spent most of the day. Cousin will take him home from hospital today. DS was darned lucky.

Just WOW! So glad DS is only "banged up". Deer are bad around here, as well as extremely numerous! Lot of hits.

He'll be sore for a while. Looking at wreckage, surprised he didn't Get waaay worse injury!

At Bay, glad your son is ok. I've been there kinda scary. Good thing he he still has the new truck to get to work.

Cousin picked up DS and took him to see his truck. Even the frame is bent, there is nothing to salvage. He was covered by Grace.

Glad he got to see the mess. That should put into perspective what damage he likely does have and how lucky he was!

So very glad that it was not worse...been there done that with my DS too.... as much as we love the older trucks too... the one good thing is they have more "METAL" than some of the new ones... and it may have helped to save his life too.
Had 6 go across the road in front of me tonight... I was on the dirt road, going slow around a slight corner and saw movement out of the corner of my eye... at least 4 were young bucks with velvet antlers growing.... have seen 2 killed right down the road in the past week or so... they are all over here too.... WAY TOO MANY.....

Hugs to you and him..... I know all together too well what it is like....

Good morning, coffee is ready. Started a load of laundry. DD and family are coming in tonight. They will spend the night, DD and DSIL will leave in the morning to go to the airport for Italy. When they come back in 10 days, we’ll meet them in Dallas to give their children and dogs back to them. They have a buyer for their house, no real estate agent involved, no commissions to pay. DD put ads on Facebook at a cost of $5 per day. @Ridgetop and husband will get to their campground sometime today and get set up. Their real estate agent has appointments for them. One day next week we’ll go see them, take kids, swim in the pool and cook hamburgers. We will be busy for the next 11 days.

Good morning.
We got some weeding done yesterday morning and cookies made for the SB team. They won their first tournament game, and now we actually have an evening at home! Library program this afternoon, but will be home this evening! Possible rain this afternoon, need to get some fertilizer on the corn... it needs rained in....Debating on applying the fertilizer this morning. Or do I just do it on a day we can just put the sprinkler out. This morning have someone coming to see the pony...yes still trying to sell him. Have had 4-5 inquiries recently. If he doesn't sell a trainer is coming the end of the month to evaluate him, probably will take on as a consignment. Need to get out and do chores, DD1 has had her allergies flared up so am doing her chores too.
