Don't kick yourself too hard Dave, it happens to all of us eventually.

4 years ago, while doing some feedlot construction work in Oregon, I backed into a brand new Dodge pickup. It was early in the morning, before daylight, at a convenience store. I had parked my pickup in the same place I parked every morning, and went in to get my regular morning fare of coffee and a bannana nut muffin. When I went back to the pickup, I instinctively looked around to make sure all was clear, and got in the pickup. While I was waiting on one of my crew to come out of the store, the Dodge pulled up behind me, almost 90 degrees to the direction I was facing. I was busy with my muffin, coffee, and whatever else I may have had on my mind, and didn't notice the man pull up behind me. I put er in reverse, let the clutch out, and most effectively demolished the side of the Dodge with a very well built steel flatbed. Scratched a little place on the corner of my flatbed, and did 3500.00 in damage to the Dodge.

Just another of life's lessons I had to learn the hard way .

Brad, I think you and I have led parallel lives .
