6000 dollars of hail damage to my truck.
New roof, new windshield, new hood...it's bad.

 

Wow, Mike, that sounds terrible. I guess it's better the truck than you and Dina on the bikes. Or us on the bikes! Have a safe trip if I don' thear from you befroehand. We are headed Yellowstone way today, but will just have to see where the front tires leave us. Houdini!

 

Heck the might as well just give you a new one.

 

Have a good run.

 

It had low mileage and was like new...I want it back.

 

I wouldn't drive a toy car, let alone a real one.........had I were in your shoes....any better now?

 

Fair enough, if you like the truck you like the truck.Heck mine had a tree fall on it and I smucked a light pole with it. I still got the truck.

 

Thinner air at altitude, things fall faster; lower, thicker atmosphere and the air resistance slows them down. People fall about 120mph, baseball would probably be slower, and I doubt most hail gets near 100mph; baseball sized might, that's getting pretty heavy without a lot of air resistance. Guy jumping from a helium balloon around 100,000' supposedly broke the sound barrier, but was back down to around 120 when he popped the chute. I do know hail drops fast enough to really hurt...

 

put the cycle on auction no reserve, with my rock bottom selling price for starters......sumtin' bout no reserve auctions ya can get it sold, I had 18 watchers with the buy it now selling price at 3200......guess we will see, come this time next week.

I could hear the first ones zinging through the air before they hit but after that it was all loud smashing.
