Well, yall just aint gonna believe my luck today. My truck screws up again, get it fixed ( wire harness I put in for my trailer lights on my truck was blowing something when in reverse )

Now, this afternoon I am going to the lake ( 2 lane road in a no passing zone ) I got my signal on to turn left, I am slowing down with my brake and I hear brakes screeching behind me. I turn to the left to go to the ramp parking lot and some joker is trying to pass other cars behind me and HITS my trailer. It snapped my 2 tie-down straps on the back. Snapped my ' wench ' strap . And my boat comes off the trailer.
So, I call Dennis ( after calling 911 and then my wife ) with his roll back to come get my boat for me. ( Yes the other guy is at fault and got a ticket etc Yes he has insurance too.. ) So, We use the roll back and get my boat on it then we launch it in the water. I checked for leaks and COULDNT see any leakage. I run the motor awhile , try the livewells and everything. Then I back my trailer in the water and loaded my boat onto it and take it home.
It did put a dent in the side about the size of a fist and scraped the paint in places. Scraped the paint on my trailer and bent my foot step.Cant tell if the trailer is bent or anything.
I am thankful this is an aluminum boat. If it had been a glass boat, it would be destroyed.
I got to go Monday to see my insurance agent and get the ball rolling on getting it FIXED.
So, hows yalls day been
