So my life has been a crazy roller coaster as always.

Thanksgiving night I got off of work and went out to the bar for a little while, but left early. I had 4-5 drinks but was still feeling ok to drive. On the way home I decided to pretend to be a race car driver and see how fast I could take the turns in the winding road. Well I came up on a turn too fast, locked the brakes, went up a bank, hit two trees doing about 70 mph causing my truck to flip over and land on its roof in the middle of the road.
I came to hanging upside down, unbuckled myself and crawled out the blown out window. There was already someone there calling the cops so I stuck around. The state police came, did their tests, and arrested me. They took me back to the barracks where I blew a .163 BAC. Then they let me go home with a co-worker I had called. They said I had been so cooperative that they'd do everything through the mail.

Needless to say the truck was a total loss, but I got the call yesterday that it was actually worth more than I owed and I'd be getting a check for $1800. I used this as a down payment and signed the papers on a "new" truck.

I also met someone via a online dating site and we met up and hit it off. Looks like the beginning of what I hope will be a fantastic relationship.

What happened, happened and there is nothing I can do about it now, so I've decided to not let myself worked up about it. So far, so good in the keeping sane game.

Hope everyone is doing good out there

Howdy! So glad you're safe, seat belts do come in handy.

Nice to hear you're starting a new relationship.
