Push Comes To Shove

Well I told you about the early needs of my Valentines day. The later day needs changed after I bashed in the front end of Madchen following my wife to her auto repair guy. I had Charlie with me because our two appointments were 1 hour and 30 miles apart. One and a half blocks from the repair center Jenni stopped at the light at Jefferson on 10th. The problem with the truck (Li'l Darling) was that it needed a carburetor adjustment it would not idle when warm. So the technique to keep her running is to left foot brake and right foot nerf the gas while stopped.

Meanwhile in the Madchen 1 spot back. Charlie who was later diagnosed as 70% blind now and will be totally blind in 6 to 12 months was on his retractable leash in the passenger seat with just enough lead to move comfortably on the seat as we came to the stop behind Jenni. The light changed and the brake lights went off in front of me, at the same time Charlie tried to jump out of the seat into the foot well and got his backside into the floor well but had hid head and neck at the front of the cushion because of the short leash. As I looked down I heard the sound of peeling out as Jenni in the truck had over gassed as she released the brakes to drive and instead of moving the already accelerated accelerator activity caused her wheels to find no purchase on damp pavement. At less than 10 mph I smashed into her solid steel truck bumper with my hood, grill and bumper demolishing them in the process. I buckled the hood and caused between the two estimates I got later that same day off, $2900 to $4000 in damage to my baby.
More to come as the process goes on.
I've had better Valentines days. I hope yours was swell and less stressful.
