Had a wonderful time over the weekend with the shindig and old/new friends. Hit the ground running Monday with the new boat hopefully being ready any day and trying to tie up loose ends before deer rifle season this coming weekend. As you can imagine, deer rifle is crazy season around a taxidermy studio.

My wife got rear-ended near my shop a couple weeks ago. Waiting to turn, left signal on waiting for traffic to clear and KABOOM, she gets hit so hard it jams the back doors of her 2012 Escape. Other than seatbelt bruise and her chin hitting the steering wheel, she was thankfully OK. The guy who hit her was driving on a suspended license and not on the insurance on the car. He was ticketed and the LEO said it was clearly his fault. Police said car was covered by Progressive. We have KY Farm Bureau. We got the police report, took her car to the body shop and figured it would all be well down the line of progress when she got home over the weekend. Since she was going to be out of town for all of last week, we didn't try to get a rental car.

Fast forward to Monday. We check with the body shop---no word from Progressive. Why? We call Progressive and they haven't decided who was at fault and since the guy who rear-ended my wife won't answer his phone or return calls, nothing had been done for 2 weeks. The meltdown begins! If we turn the accident in on our policy, it will probably go as a recordable accident AGAINST MY WIFE. The meltdown speeds up.

Fast forward to today. Nothing had been done by Progressive, we talked to a lawyer, turned it in on our policy and MIGHT get a rental tomorrow afternoon. KY Farm Bureau has already done estimate on our car. Progressive, as well as the guy who caused all this, are both going to hear from our attorney. I finally start seeing my wife calm down from all the unfairness of the whole situation.

I get back to my shop to start a project but before I start, decide to take my labs out for a pee and some fun. I start throwing my 5 year old male a retrieving bumper, get him all fired up, he starts jumping his usual 5 feet high, and hits me in the mouth with his head and breaks 3 teeth and cuts the crap out of the inside of my bottom lip.Why not get all our insurance companies involved at one time?

Meltdown over. I think I'm going home for a nap.
