    Be careful out there

    Heck of a day yesterday, just to run a piece of equipment out to the field, then get back home. In that roughly 100 mile round trip, got to watch a wheel come off a Mobil home being moved and make like a pinball through oncoming traffic. Saw an overturned trailer from an accident the day before. Then on the way home a truck/trailer rig was shedding bearings, races, and brake parts as he was driving down the highway. Now I have to drive to San Angelo and back today feeling a little gun "highway" shy.

    Be carful. The roads we drive on are more dangerous than most think. Lot of crazy drivers out there.

        A couple of years ago I was driving North on 35 from Round Rock and all of a sudden to my left a tire went bouncing ahead of me and off to the left , across the median barely missing a car going South and then off into the field. If that thing had hit a car I am sure it would not have been good.

            Had a guy I work with get smacked with two duals off a water well truck, still bolted together. It totaled the truck but he caught it lucky on a low bounce instead of through the windshield.

              Highway 67 west of Angelo is one of the craziest 2 lanes in the State right now......Be Careful!

                Craziest thing I have encountered on the highway was in Arizona--on I-10. Driving along and noticed a dust cloud in the median coming at me--fast! I pulled as far right as I could but didn't know whether to speed up or slow down. The dust cloud enveloped the car and I tensed for the crash-which never came. It was someone's tandem-axle trailer which had some off the hitch and came spinning thru the median.

                        I saw a boat come off a truck yesterday in Tomball. Luckily his safety chains worked.

                          That dude didn't back near far enough, near fast enough! And the person in the silver car either abandoned ship or is unconscious!

                            I saw one wheel come off a dually on I-10 last week, soon followed by the other one.


                            got a little wobbly real quick like.

                              I have saw almost the same thing, those bolted together duals are WICKED when they go rolling down the road at 70mph..
