How was your day...

[Whitespider]

...b'cause mine sucked.
This is what happens when you don't get stopped in time at a rural railroad crossing.
I can't even begin to explain to you how big a train looks when it coming straight at you.
I've always wondered what sort'a dumb-azz gets hit by a train... well... today I was the dumb-azz.
Guys... when you're out in the sticks scroungin' your firewood, don't get complacent at those cow-path-like RR crossings.
I was lucky... I walked away.

productive to say the least... 7 cords of aspen/poplar pulp on the landing stacked for delivery, and 2 cords of mixed wood for a customer. not a bad day.

WS, hope your boss cuts you some slack. I am sure that was not an easy conversation to have. Glad to have you still among the living.

Glad you're OK!

 

[Whitespider]

Luckily my boss is my brother... he didn't know whether to fire me or hug me.
He chose the hug...

And yeah... the cold ones are tasting just fine this evening.

Glad to hear you are OK WS. That could have been a lot worse.

 

[cuinrearview]

Humble of you to post this. I'd feel like a complete dumba$$. Glad you're alright. We have a few of those crossings around luckily not anywhere near where my 16yo drives.

 

[stumpy75]

Glad you are ok. I had a close encounter of that same kind, but it missed me by inches. Those crossings are always a stop and a look for me now....

 

[timbrjackrussel]

What does the train look like?
Glad that you are OK.
We should all have a beer for WS.

 

[zogger]

WTF man?!? Glad you are OK. Ya, your ride is toast but dang, it could have been lots worse. I mean, wow and stuff..geez....

 

[unclemoustache]

Dang....... Speechless. Glad you're ok. You have your radio on or loud something? They are required to blow their ear-splitting horns before every crossing.

Man, that could have been nasty. We don't want to hear about a you getting squashed like a spider!!

 

[Stihlbillie]
