Saturday was the Scout Expo down here. Lloyd, Mike's dad, is in scout's, so he has to be there every year. Well most of the scout's will camp out in tents at the soccer field in Cedar. Well Lloyd took his trailer down there last year to camp out. Mike told them (being both his parents) they were trashy (their trailer is quite old and worn down). He told them to take our trailer next year so he wouldn't have to be embarrassed for them. So Lloyd did. Mike made him take our truck too. Well when we went down to their house to get our truck and trailer to bring home late Saturday afternoon we were given a surprise. And no it wasn't the good kind. This was our surprise....
Lloyd tried to turn into a parking lot (obviously where he shouldn't have tried) and the trailer corner smacked into the cab of the truck squishing the window causing it to brake (all over Mike's nephew no less). Because it is now covered you cannot see the bent metal in the middle that held the windows together. Mike also had to reseal some of the trailer seams back together. There are some other minor scratches and such on the truck and the trailer. Needless to say Mike isn't letting them borrow either again!!! When we first got there and his dad came out to explain (of course we seen what happened first) the first thing Mike said was "what'd it do to the cab?" The reply, "It didn't do anything to the cab, just broke the window." I don't know why he said that or if he was more worried about the window. But you couldn't miss the damage done to the cab. Which I believe had Mike the most mad, that and the trailer. A window can be replaced, fixing a dent (without bondo) isn't easy. Anyway it was an accident we know, and the window is getting fixed, however, it's still very upsetting.
