I think I fixed it now.

 

lol no i didnt get to detail it. I still have to do that!!

 

Ok that cancels out my theory:

I figured you were in the back yard to bury your wife and got caught up in the shallow grave.

I HATE when that happens.

 

Here's a few more shots of the aftermath if anyone's interested:

hole filling with water
me sinking in my own backyard
a pretty big hole

 

Thanks!! I think it's smaller than our the 03 we traded in tho. I'm a little irked about that.

 

Looks like you can see where the pumpkin and drive shaft were sank into the ground.

 

You hadn't walked thru the yard before you drove in it?

 

Road Side Dispatch: Go to 1212 Luma and pull a Explorer out of a backyard.

Tow Driver: Back Yard?

Road Side Dispatch: Yea, back yard.

Tow Driver: Did he give a name?

Road Side Dispatch: No, but he sounds frantic.

Tow Driver: How does someone get stuck in the backyard?

Road Side Dispatch: I don’t know, I just answer the phone.

Tow Driver: Ok, I am pulling up now and the owner seems very distraught.

Road Side Dispatch: Take pictures before you tow him, we need something to talk about tomorrow.

Tow Driver: 10-4

 

Very Very nice looking Explorer you got there!

 

You mean "were sunk?"

 

I'm not sure I could be talked into buying a house if I haven't walked around the yard once. I'm afraid I just cannot comprehend how someone could make such an important purchase without having any clue what they are buying. Who would buy a house without knowing if it's on solid ground???

(my house has the second-highest elevation of the whole street, which slopes gently downhill to the lake a block away. No chance of flooding or standing water)
