Chuck, my truck

Warning: The following photos are not for those with weak stomaches!

Look at what that deer did to Chuck. It kinda breaks my heart just looking at him, to tell you the truth. This is a whole lot of damage- like three or four days in the shop worth of damage. Which means three or four days without Chuck.

See that piece of metal in the middle of the frame that's bent? That's some kind of structural something-or-the-other. That's something- I'm almost positive- that is integral to the proper functioning of my truck.

There used to be another headlight down below the big one. Oh, AND A BUMPER.



Doesn't it just seem impossible that an animal could have done all that damage? It wasn't an elephant for heaven's sake.

Oh, poor Chuck. The pictures are scary looking. With some TLC and time at the truck hospital he'll be back on his wheels soon. Keep us updated on his progress.

ARGGGHHH!
That is some major damage there. Poor Chuck.

Perhaps we can all get together and knit him axel sling?

Poor Chuck.
I am SO glad YOU are OK. I've come to count on your blog for a window into the fiber farming world.

I felt terrible for the deer, Quiltcat. Especially since it was the second deer that I had a hand in killing in less than a week.
