Joe - I think those things are understood by all of us. I think there is pretty much a universal invitation.

I talked to DH and we would be happy to open our house for a couple, for a visit. We have a small spare room, but will have to do some measuring, as we recently bought a new full size, upright freezer and put it in there. We are planning to put a similar size freezer next to it, today. We have a nice full height queen size air mattress. My son and his wife slept on it and said it was very comfortable. If it doesn't fit in the spare room, we could always inflate it in the living room, at bedtime and deflate it in the morning. The air pump that came with it, makes it a breeze 
to do that very quickly.

It was a very eventful day today, it started off really well at about 5:30am....gathered up all the things I could think of that I might need and loaded them in the truck....gave Joyce a kiss and pulled out the drive right at 6 and I was on my way. I always stop at a McDs in Holly Springs for a sausage biscuit when I'm traveling that way and use the pit stop there.....before I pulled out of the drive and back on the road I sent @Mike CHS a text that I was headed his way. Everything went well until about 9am.....
..I made it to Savannah, Tn and a girl ran a red light as I was turning left and slammed into the truck.....the cops showed up....the wrecker showed up and loaded the truck and towed the girl's car....I was waiting on the officer to give me some info and when the tow truck drove off the cops jumped in their car and drove off too. I had to Google the wrecker companies info to find out where the truck was towed to....it was about 3 miles away....I was hoofing it....they don't have sidewalks in Savannah....nor do they have level ground....I also had to walk thru a neighborhood with plenty of yard dogs and it is a busy street.....but, I finally made it to the place and got the guy to use the wench on his wrecker to pull the bumper off the tire with steering clearence....then I had to find out why and where the water leak was coming from....at the wreck site we assumed it to be the radiator...ya can see the steam in the pic. I noticed it was one of the hoses coming off the heater core, but in inspecting it, the nipple had broken off the connector and was stuck inside the hose. I asked the wrecker guy where the nearest parts store was and it was right across the same intersection that the wreck happened, so used his hose to put some water in it and made it to the parts store. I bought a brass connector and went to pull the other hose off the core....yep...it broke off too....so, I just connected the hoses together....bypassing the heater core, put in some coolant and water and drove it home.
Given the results of this eventful day, I will have to put a trip to Texas off until Spring at the earliest....the lights are messed up and there isn't enough daylight for me to travel there and back in a day....and it will take several months for me to gather the $$ to get things fixed....it will also put our expansion plans on hold too for this Spring.....oh, here is the other car....
....really sorry about missing out there @Mike CHS , but will make it over there eventually.....

Where she ran the red light doesn’t she have to pay for all the damage? That’s really too bad about your truck but at least it was car vs truck where you get the advantage and are hopefully all in one piece and healthy

We were sorry to see what happened. We had so much food we called the neighbors and their grandson and we had the meal tonight. Pam and Roger both said to tell you they were sorry you missed but it was sure good.

Damn @CntryBoy777 that SUCKS! @High Desert Cowboy is right, she is at fault, she has to pay for repairs. If she has no insurance, take her to small claims court. What are the odds she was talking or texting on her phone when she ran the light? The cops should check the phone company records and she should get her butt kicked for doing so.

I am just fine...physically....and she was not texting or talking on her phone....I was informed by the cops that they just report the accident, but don't assign fault....they leave it for the insurance companies to battle it out. It has been my past experience that irregardless of the situation or conditions it ia almost always the fault of the person that is turning....but, I will see when I get a hold of my agent tomorrow....I'm the only one that got pics of the scene and I couldn't find any witnesses standing around....and certainly nobody stopped to be one.....Life goes on and it is what it is....we'll just have to see how it turns out....I'm sure it will be a few months anyway.
