The Tank Resurrected

The Tank is back!  The repair facility in Ennis, TX (where the accident happened) did an excellent job over a 24 day period in restoring it to all it's former glory.

The Tank back doing what it does best at Limestone Lake Park!

My only (minor) quibble is the repair place couldn't salvage my front license plate, which you have to have in Texas, so I'll have to spring for a replacement plate.  It felt so great to sleep in my own bed after five weeks of not!  The above scene is a recent overnight at Limestone Lake Park south of Waco.  I'll do a campground review of it later on.

I'm so glad they were able to repair the Tank and not "total" it!

Recovering the Tank

I learned the Tank has been repaired and I'm heading (from Houston) up to Ennis to pick it up tomorrow....yay!  I'll do a post with after repair pics and stuff.  It's been more than a month since the accident and I'm so glad to be getting back to life I recognize as "normal". 

Thanks for reading!

Suddenly....

I haven't been in an auto accident in over 30 years.  That record ended February 21, the day before my birthday.  I was always skeptical when reading people's accident descriptions that ran along the "The other car appeared out of nowhere." line but I will read those narratives with a little more understanding after I did this to the Tank:

The poor old Tank, sorry Buddy.

I learned this morning that, thankfully, Allstate has decided to repair the damage rather than "total it" and hand me a check for the Blue book value.  Used Silverado 2500's are somewhat hard to find, and when you do find one you pay up for it, I was really relieved to be told the Tank would be fixed.

No serious injuries, thank goodness. No apparent damage to the camper either. I'm renting a small car to get around while the Tank is in the shop.  I'll update any progress as it occurs.

Time to start my next 30 years of accident-free driving.
