    So my day started out with a nurse crushing the front driver's side of my 2013 Ram, pushing me into another vehicle on my passenger's side on 31 in Carmel around 5:45am. It was still dark so I'm not sure of the damage but the driver's door is buckling against the front fender when you open it, I saw a gouge on the passenger's side front bumper and my rear fender flare on the passenger's side was pulled down scratching the paint and it popped one of the screws out. The front wheels were pigeon toed and since I was pulling a16' utility trailer I enjoyed quite a ride. My left shoulder, which is ending my career for me, took quite a beating and I'm self medicating with significant amounts of bourbon this evening.

    On the bright side, my wife has a 2012 Ram which I used to go pick up my new tractor this afternoon after visiting the Med Check. I brought it home and got straight to work mowing the overgrown back pasture on the property I bought a month ago. I can't say the day has been a wash, owning my first tractor is pretty spectacular in spite of how badly my shoulder hurts. I got about 1/4 of the pasture knocked down this afternoon/evening. I'm hoping I can get the rest done tomorrow and maybe hit it a second time. There's a lot of soon to be dead grass & weeds laying out there.

    Good vs Bad I think you had a wash. I know the daughter is happy with you (and glad you're ok).

    This.

    Now repeat after me. "Ouch. My Neck hurts. I thinks I has the whiplashes." and the INGO ambulance chasers will be along shortly to assist you in collecting your newfound retirement income.

    A good attitude and outlook will smooth out life's bumpy road. Sounds as if you'll be rich in life.
    Just happy you're ok and hope no one sustained any significant injuries.

    Doesn't surprise me about it being a nurse, you should see the way some of our FLY by people on the way in to work. A couple of them would give the King a run for his money at Daytona.:rockwoot:

    Bourbon is good for soreness. Glad to hear you are OK. Having grown up agricultural I can say that Kubota tractors are great, I use my 4400 HST all the time.

    I got a few chores done with it today and I'm not disappointed. There are a few things I'd like to do which will require more HP but for the most part I think it's gonna work out great.
