we had golf ball hail move through this morning at 3am. Since yesterday was 97 degrees i had parked the cavalier under a pretty good shade tree and never drove it the rest of the day, so it was saved from the hail. A bunch of tree branches on it but thats better than hail damage.

Make sure to have your roof checked -- you might have just gotten new shingles if the hail was golf ball sized. We had about that size come through here a couple of weeks back and if the roofs were more than a few years old they are requiring replacement.

This week is gonna be crazy, but we still need to grab a beer at some point

Im so damn mad at myself. Spent all day moving crap from old house to new house. Finally get home around 9:45.. Had a few boxes on the front porch so backed up the trailer and unhooked it from the pickup.

Decided to back up to the porch to load up the truck for tomorrow and backed right into a damn telephone pole! We have lived here 10 years and i know the damn thing is there but it never registered with me tonight until it was to late. Hit it pretty damn hard, the receiver hitch took the brunt of the hit but as far as i can tell in the dark the bumper covers looks like its pushed in and looks like the bumper is hanging low. Wont know for sure until in the morning

That's a shame, hope it is not too bad. We can do some dumb stuff sometimes.

Got pretty lucky. Have to replace the plastic bumper cover, there is a pretty good indention and the plastic tab that holds it to the bottom of the bumper is about to snap off but i dont see any damage on the bumper itself. I thought it was hanging low but the plastic was pushed up to the tailgate but was able to snap it back down.

Im more than happy to pay 109 for a new bumper cover!

Replaced my whole bumper....front bumper of the Tundra hit the concrete when he hit my trailer ball mount.
