Woke up, it’s just another day right? WRONG! Chuck got up at 7am to haul a load of lumber from the Amish guy down the road into town. I got up at 8am and got the boys up and got them something to eat and ready for football practice. They practice from 9-11 Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. We were JUST getting ready to leave when the phone rang and it was Chuck. He has just been in an accident.

I HATE these calls!!! Your heart sinks to your stomach and pounds away and you can’t think straight. He was hauling a trailer along with his truck, the load is NOT heavy, just wooden boxes. The trailer had come unhitched and started passing him on the road. Somehow the trailer smacked the truck which made the gas tank go into his tire which made him lose control of the truck and land in the guard rail. Thank God no one was hurt!!!!

He was arrested on the scene because he has an outstanding warrant for an unpaid fine he didn’t know about. So, they put him in the back of the cruzier and took him up town. I got the $185 out of the bank and paid to get him out, LOL! After that, I took him up to the hospital to have him checked out. He hurt is left leg which is the one that he just broke and had surgery on this past spring. He hurt his right arm by getting it stuck in the steering wheel. His other arm is badly bruised and his stomach has a large bruise from the steering wheel. But, the doctor said he’s okay just will hurt for a while.

He went with Clinton, my BIL, and took his dump truck and did stuff around town that needed done. I went to the beach with a friend from lower Ohio from 2-6pm. I am VERY sun burnt and tired! I picked Chuck up at Bridget’s house since he can’t drive a stick shift because of his leg. He drove my van home.

He went to the place that towed his truck and trailer and the bill is $1,500!!!! GOOD LORD!!! And $60 a day until we can get them out! :( THIS SUCKS!!

Chuck is VERY stressed and depressed. This is the ONLY way we are making money right now, with this truck hauling loads! He got 4 tickets too. The license plate on the truck, it was gone and they couldn’t find it so they gave him a ticket for no plates, no trailer plates, no CDL (he doesn’t need one), failure to secure load. He will probably get 2 of those thrown out. He goes next week to court.
