Just one of them days, was eating dinner,phone rings,it was neighbor. She tells me someone has just run thur my front fence(Redtop field wire w/2 strands of barb wire on the top). when I get up there here is two young girls in a small Ford truck sittng in my pasture. Thank God no one was hurt, girl driving has no lic. and it is mother's pickup. And no money but She offered to work off the damages. Got name, lic #, phone #'s, mothers name and address. Probably about $800.00 damage to her mom's truck, needs new windshield,lower valance, and scratches removed from hood and top(repaint)

She took out 20 feet of the field fence, barbwire is alright, and two steel T-post.Just lucky I have about 25 feet of fence left over from another project.

I got part of the fence repaired and up so stock can't get out. Will have it finished tomorrow. I can remember being young and foolish once!!!:>)

Everyone have a Happy Easter

Keith & Shawn

they come and go, don't they?

At least they stayed right there on your property.

I had some young fellers on dope drive through my driveway at 12 in the morning. They were confused they thought the road went through my driveway but they ended up at my barn. didn't catch them because i was disoriented from sleeping. Nothing but ruts in the ground but it could have been much much worse for some unfortunate people.

I would almost bet the damage is closer to $2,000 to the truck.

Keith,

Wow, that trick sounds just like something I did about 6 weeks before I got my license. Didn't do any damage to the fence, because I hit an end post at a T road. $70 damage to a year-old Ford F-3 pickup.

Dad didn't holler at all...just calmly said, "Well, I was going to buy you a new Ford hardtop for your birthday, but you just saved me $2,300" (or so). That was in 1953...I never did get the new Ford.

The subject was never brought up again.
