#4, I've been lucky and never hit a deer. But out by me that's an everyday occurence during the rut season. One of my neighbors had 4 of them bounce on and into his car at once
I remember driving on a highway in the middle of the night, basically just me and transport trucks at that time of day. Over and over I would see deer just at the edge of where my headlights reached. When you're going 60+ mph that's not far at all.
The biggest thing I've actually hit was a pigeon that bounced off my windshield. Nothing broke and it was still flying in my rearview.
She also sat down on the seat way before she should have. Keeping your weight on the pedals lowers the center of gravity aiding in stability on rough terrain.
#4... I lived in the country and drove 40 miles one way to work, for over 15 years of the 35 years that I worked in my now city where I live. I hit at least 4 deer, one a 10 point, that ran into the side of my Ford Escort, then flew up and over my front window, and all I saw was antlers and hooves. It kept on running, but the guy who lived there had a grandkid who killed him in the fall with a bow, said it was limping on it's front leg, like it had run into something and injured it's breast bone. That is how I found out it was a 10 point. I know that it was one big deer, when it flew across my windshield. The neighbor was about 85, and had an old Indian motorcycle that he still rode on his 40 acre plot, at that age. He cut his own wood, then hauled it up to his house in 8 ft. lengths, where he had a pto on his tractor and used a big old sawmill blade to cut the wood, and an old factory belt that he used to take the wood and bring it away from his cutting area and dump it away from his work space, so he didn't have to move it so often. There a great old couple, going up into Minnesota camping, and picking up old stones, agates mostly, then cutting and polishing them, to make gifts. We went to the same church and the lady played piano for some Wednesday night prayer meetings. She helped younger ladies learn how to be better women and wives. There were many older men who helped teach the younger men how to be good men, mostly by way of example. Sadly it seems like that sort of teaching is either gone, or not something as respected as it once was. And parents don't teach it either due to time or selfishness.
#4. Never closely follow on long country roads, unless intending to overtake. It annoys the driver in front, reduces your available reaction time, there might be shit or wet leaves on road and increases the chances of debris getting flicked up into your windscreen. Hang back and relax a bit more. #8. How brave lads are inserted deep inside unfriendly territory.
#4, I was working in the WY oilfields prepping a site for a huge production plant, working endless 100 hr weeks. Heading home just before dark at about 8pm, I was speeding at about 70mph, popped over a rise and suddenly a herd of antelope were running alongside the left of me. The lead critter decided to take a hard right and suddenly I am mixed into this herd swerving all over both lanes trying to miss those damn things. To this day I don't know how I did it. Scared the hell out of me, a friend of mine wasn't so lucky, he had 3-4 dead in his grill, totaled his truck. Get out there on those WY plains, watch one of those critters run, it is amazing how fast they are, a work of God's artistry.
#2 looks like the roof was installed sideways (the seams should allow water to run off).
ReplyDelete#8 Was it good for you too?

#4 - "Hello - Jake from State Farm ? You ain't gonna believe this shit ..."
ReplyDelete#2...Looks like a slate roof. Just rough enough surface to hold snow.
ReplyDelete#3...That's gonna leave a mark.
#4...The first driver almost got his season limit.
#4 - Grip strength wasn't strong enough to engage the brakes to slow down her bike.
