Re: keepin score

Railroad Bridge - 1
Interstate Bridge - 1
Tree Limb - 1

VHF Antenna - 0

I have another new antenna, but I don't know if I should put it on or just go ahead and break it.

I had to update this post. I did install the antenna mentioned above but it was not the last one.

Overhead hoist in my shop 1
Road bridge over river 1

VHF antenna, still 0

I guess I'll never learn. The one I hit the road bridge with had just been installed that morning.

I'll play...boat winch 2, 1978 Trans Am 0.


First time, I had just pulled the car out of an abominable repair shop (2006). It was still in the process of being restored. The tranny was installed but the shift cable wasn't so the shop left the car in neutral. I had a chunck of 4x4 post keeping the car from rolling backwards into the boat. My mom, with her Montana minivan and backup assist, wondered why she was being beeped at when she was backing down the driveway. She backed right into the front end of the Trans Am, planted the 4x4 into the dirt driveway which sent the car rolling backwards into the boat trailer. The winch stand caught the newly installed rear quarter panel and put a 1' gash in it.

Second time, I was dead tired and had the car on a U-Haul trailer for a trip out to OH (2011) to have the headliner installed. I needed to wash the Tundra as it was filthy so I backed the whole thing up, stopped and surveyed where I was. I thought I had about 2' clearance between the car and the boat trailer, so to get closer to the hose, I backed up 1'. Well...I was a little closer than I thought as while backing up, I felt a thunk. Followed quickly by that Oh Crap moment. Got out and the winch stand stopped the whole rig from going further. Only a little gash on the rear urathane bumper which still needs to be touched up.
