Photo o’ Day: Matt’s Wipeout

Taken May 17, 2003, Matt managed to bring the vehicle into the ditch. I managed to get out with just a scrape but at the same time the freaking dogs fell on top of me. 😉

Anyhow, here’s a shot of us trying to haul it up along with the Foreman of the day.

    runner up title for this post was going to be: Why I need to get out in the sun some more.

    On another note I’d like to point out how helpful Shannon is being in getting the truck out the ditch. LOL! I don’t know why I pick on him all the time I suppose because it’s just too easy.

    Wow I remember that day!

    What did you Dad say when you told him about it?

    It was quite awhile ago, I don’t recall exactly.

    I know Dad was pretty good about it, he was naturally upset but he knew it was a accident.

    I still feel pretty bad about it. He put alot of work into that truck, it was his baby. I hope to be able to make it up to him eventually, (another 4runner, or help towards).

    Just the big fist sized hole in the engine.

    Oh, yes! not much body damage from the rollover, the engine blew you towed it all the way back right?

    I wonder if they still do that at CAA? I would wait till the old Aries would break down then call CAA, sign up then ask for them to send a tow truck! Ah the good old Aries!
