Almost "bit the dust"
 
I'm doin the vicodin shuffle. I was out putting a few miles on the scooter today when a truck in front a me dropped some rocks on the road in front of me. One of the chunks of gravel smacked me in the mouth as I tried to avoid the rest of the shower of rocks. I just about lost complete control doing about 60, but was able to pull off the road and regained my senses. That junk of rock just about knocked me out.

Good thing: I didn't bite the dust
Bad thing: my lip is busted and I've got a tooth which isn't doing to hot right now.

Good thing #2 Orton is looking like a decent QB

Damn - that's some scary sh*t, bro.

Get well soon, and be safe!

Well, aside from a few stitches and a loose tooth, I did ok considering the possibilities.

That **** hurt like hell and I thought I was going to loose control trying to pull off the road.

Scary stuff, TGN... glad you're going to be OK.

$10 says Spider was driving that rig.

In all seriousness, glad to hear you're ok.

Naw, I can't stand a full face and a regular brain bucket wouldn't have protected me from that pc of gravel.
