Here is some genuine CB jargon for you fellers.
I think we’d like to know the rest of this story.I will never forget being pinned under my pickup and the guy that stopped and called for help on his CB it was loud enough that i heard the person he contacted it was a women that i know . She responded say she would call and send help.
One Friday just before new years i was headed home from work there was a car stopped in the highway it was dark and i didnt see it because of the headlights but there was a deer in the center of the highway. I was in my CJ7 and slowed down for the car and went right passed it. We had loaded to trucks to leave monday had something wrong so me and another guy were going to work saturday to fix it. Saturday i headed to work in my 69 c20 that i had replaced most of the rusted out firewall that thanksgiving other wise it was rust free. It was just getting light out when i got with in 200 feet of were the deer was the night before and there was a deer standing on the yellow line. I thought i will just stay over on my side and go by like lastnight. I wasnt going maybe 40 mph the next thing i new i was going backwards then i was in the top of the cab watchng the steering wheel go back and forth . I was getting thrown around when it stopped i was half way out the drivers window with the windsheild piller on my legs or hip . I thought it had probably broken both my legs. The pickups was side ways in the road with the rear bumper on the yellow line. I lay there thinking maybe the house next to me heared it . I tryed to push the horn but couldnt reach it i had a book with me i rolled it up but the horn didnt work. I heared a car coming i waved the book in the air and saw the driver but he didnt stop. Then one came from the other way they drove around but didnt stop. My first thought was i would burn to death but i felt the gas cap and it stayed bone dry. I was getting tired i didnt know it but i was bleeding inside . I then heard the wine of a pickup with mud tires coming i thought this is the kind of person that will stop and he did . He ran over saw me ran back to his CB and a women responded she worked at the bank were i banked. Then another car stopped with 2 guys and a girl the 3 guys tried to lift the truck while she pulled me free but couldnt they started to set it back down and it hurt so they put the spare tire beside me to hold it up. The ambulance showed up the the fire truck with air bags. They cut my boot laces that felt like cutting wire under presser my feet were swelled up. There is a lot more to this story but i need to go to work.I think we’d like to know the rest of this story.
I think my pickup dropped off the shoulder but i dont understand what really happen.Sounds like your lucky to be alive. Do you know how you wrecked?
I went to cut wood one day there was some snow on the ground and it did some freezing rain the night before. I know i couldnt haul any wood but i went and cut some. I shouldnt have went but i did. I was headed home i pulled up to a stop sign and stopped the my CJ7 started sliding side ways . There was a deep ditch i was headed for i had my seat belt on but my saw was in the passenger side floor board. The driver side went over the bank of the shoulder i was leaning over laying on the pass seat . The pass side tires got hooked on the little bit of gravel sticking up through the ice and it stopped. I got the passenger door unlatched and tossed the saw out in the road. I then got my seat belt off and climbed out. I grabed the front bumper and was able to slide the front end down the ditch and drive out. Its a wonder more people are not hurt buy stuff they are hauling. A friend was in a wreck in his mini van a can of fruit hit his left arm bruising it bad.Maybe I should find somewhere else for the chainsaws and tool bags and such . . .
