...so my trailer takes its life.
On the way home from Cornerstone Festival this year (about 90 minutes away from the grounds ... probably just as Klank was ripping out the last notes of his (I heard) amazing set, a giant doe came dashing up through a ditch on the side of the road. We were probably sailing along at around 55 mph and "ka-whump!" we collided.
When I got out I thought of some silly movies where a deer was mad and attacked after such a collision. I tried to get out of the way, but I wasn't about to do something drastic, like swerve with a trailer at that high a speed, so I turned slightly. My wife said the deer was headed right for her window. When I last saw it, I thought we might have a chance of missing it. It took the passenger side mirror extension thing right off (we never found it) and made a large bulge/hole/mess in the passenger front side of the trailer -- right in front of the storage compartment. There was blood on the trailer, but the breakage of the wood/fiberglass was minimal. We didn't miss any travel time.
Too bad about that deer.
I've been out of commission for awhile now. I had PLANNED on blogging about the fest each day, but I guess there were other more important things to do, so my computer freaked out. My notebook is something I use a lot -- to do work from home and away on trips, etc. I might have to take it in for repair under warranty, but I'm worried that I can't back up my hard drive info before that happens. Yikes. I could lose a LOT of emails (a few hundred) that came in within the last week or so.
Oh well.
:?)
I hope to get busy back here on this blog soon.
Until Thursday, Lord willing...

We had everyone we could fit get on stage for the last song and sing together...and Kevin Clay joined us for the wole set on guitar. Good time...we ended it really really loud.
