Did you go over the top or dead stop into the side of the truck?

I have the 2 aux lights on mine all clear though with the modulator on the headlight, I was thinking about amber for the lower ones but you said you had that.

Joe, Mary Ellen said to say hello and you are in our prayers.
This hospital food is pretty good. Lot better than the last time I was in here. But not as good as the iola BBQ.
Thanks everyone that has my cell for checking on me. Sure helps have a lot of friends in times like this. I thought the Deer in 2003 was bad but that truck didn’t move much. Terry I don’t think I flew over the truck I ended up on the same side I hit.

Was anyone riding with Joe or did some of you come upon the incident in the aftermath?

No one left with him @iddave came up on it. Rest of us were unaware anything happened. Seems like he wasn't very far from us either.

I came up on the accident a few minutes after it happened.

I was the only person from the lunch at the scene that I know of . There was a physical therapist guy talking to Joe and doing what he could to help Joe then a traveling EMT came up with his bag and took over . Mostly folks were standing around waiting on the county EMT to show up. County EMT and sheriff deputy showed up , air ambulance was called . After helicopter left I talked to Deputy his opinion was it was clearly the trucks fault. Never saw any statements taken from witnesses. Deputy told me there was no need to hang around . DPS had not arrived when I left.

He has good humor at times but this was Bad accident, he will be out several months just getting to where he can function somewhat normal.

For some reason this "Watched" thread is no longer notifying me of new posts.
So, I miss a lunch at Murphys, and am just now catching up all the reports on Dirtryder's misfortune.
Joe, best wishes and I hope all goes smoothly to get you back on the road soon.

Ouch, thinking about you and your recovery daily!
Dang! No wonder I can't find any screws at Home Depot! Hope those aren't galvanized!

I think you've beaten my personal high score of 15 screws and one plate. 
Um, er, congratulations?
Glad to see your spirits are high enough to be keeping us entertained.
