Your Wednesday Local News
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 6:36 amGood Morning. It is Wednesday, May 29th, 2013, Colliemom reporting. Today's headlines. Flex Meets Deer on Highway, Outcome Not Good. Friends TT deal Goes Through. Much Excitement Taking Place. On The Weather Front: Some Sunshine Expected.
It was not a good day yesterday for this reporter, who while driving down one of our local major state highways, had the unfortunate luck to have a deer come out of a slope alongside the road, directly into her path. The impact not only caused moderate damage to her vehicle, but also killed the deer who wound up on the opposite site of the road down a small incline. This driver was fine though. A driver going in the opposite direction stopped to render assistance in case any was needed, and after we assessed the damage and the deer, followed me to town to make sure I got to the Sheriff's office okay, to report it Very kind of him. He was probably surprised to find a calm, cool and collective women and not some hysterical femaie at her wit's end over it all. But when one lives up in this country long enough, you know that eventually it will be your turn to join that club of folks who hunt deer with their cars.
Needless to say, the rest of the morning and and most of the afternoon was spent with collision shops, the insurance company and so forth. All is taken care of and the Flex will be going to the car hospital today to get itself all fixed up. In the meantime I will have a loaner to drive.
On the more fun news front, my friends deal for a new TT has gone through and plans are now in the works as to when she will be returning here with her old one to trade in and pick up the new one. Excitement is high in the air. The dealer wants her to be there when they start on the renovations she wants done, so she can advise the techs on how she wants it. She will be purchasing a new Sportsman 19BH. So I expect her to be back here probably the first part of next week, if not this weekend. Yeah! On my end, I am still waiting to hear when the one I want is due in, but dealer was really busy yesterday and wasn't able to get to it. Doesn't matter right now as I can't do anything till the Flex comes back.
And in the Weather News, a warm front has moved in. After an afternoon and evenng/night of rain, skies might clear out a bit this afternoon, letting in some sunshine. More humid air is also expected for tomorrow, but cooling down a bit to more normal temps by weekend.
And this is the way it is, Wednesday morning, May 28th. Have a wonderful day.

Hunters wanted to borrow it on opening day....they figured that it they could park it and the deer would come to them! 
I know it sucks.
I spent a lot of time on the computer yesterday working on my travel/RV blog. Learning a lot about categories and tags. More time today trying to organize blog better along with the everyday stuff; laundry, cleaning, etc. DH is going to the shooting range to volunteer as a helper for a Veteran's shooting tournament. He is a Vietnam Vet. Tyler goes to the groomer today. I used to do all the grooming, however my back and neck still are not good enough yet. 
Just a quick "good morning! Lost my rather lengthy post, so guess it wasn't meant to be 
Donna, ouch! Feel better soon!
