Hi all,have to tell you about how good my day was going friday,75% done with my route,pull up to a curb,this curb was about 16' tall and about 10 ft long,straight ahead was a drive to the exit of the plaza, I was sitting in the car,wife was servicing a machine,she gets done,gets back into the car and I forget all about that curb and you can't see it,looks like you got a straight shot ahead... I put it in drive and give it some gas,next thing I know the car is trying to climb over the curb,it bent in my A/C condenser about 2.5 in. and took out the radiator,man those plastic tanks on the radiators will not take a beating.. antifreeze everywhere.. cost me a tow bill and a radiator.. I shoulda stayed home... I bent the condenser back, sniffed it with a cfc detector, and it does'nt have a leak, I guess it could have been worse..:)

Where I come from, if it's 16' high, we call it a wall

Think you might have missed the joke there moterboat
16' = 16 FEET high = Wall
16" = 16 Inches high = Tall curb

Not sure you would miss the wall being in front of you

Re: ever had one of those days?

I had one of those days today when I opened my docotor's records that came in the mail, the records are from 98 when I had my ankle fused and the very last dated page stated "returning to work with no restrictions, due for further surgery" :confused: I'm trying to figure out when I was told about further surgery and how I was released back to work with no restrictions without this "further surgery". I am puzzled now by gosh. I can't hardly translate what type of surgery he stated that I needed because it's in medical terms. It must not of been a very important surgery but why wasn't I told about it.

I also got a bill today from 6 months back when I went to the eye doctor, they always find the perfect time to send this mess.
