Or maybe it was. Out for a ride with the wife on back. Just a 150 mile day ride. Was at a light and noticed a pickup pulling a open landscape type trailer had 2 kayaks and a canoe laid in the trailer without a single strap. Couldn't get past him because of other traffic so I stayed back a bit. Ended up behind him as we got up to speed. I was still wanting around him when of course the canoe became air born. What a sight, a full size canoe thirty feet in the air coming at you. Yelled to my wife to hold on as I hit the brakes hard. Got her stopped without hitting and even avoided the paddles that were flying out of the canoe. It was a good thing the canoe slid on the road as I stopped well past where it hit the road the first time. Needless to say I was a might bit pissed off at this point. I stopped said my piece to the azzhat that was to busy to tie down his load, called the cops and fixed him up with a loose load ticket. I blocked his path to leave so he had to wait for the police. He failed to understand why I was upset, "it was just an accident dude".
Cops came I left to continue my ride. Continue my ride and not two miles further avoid a car that failed to stop at their stop sign. Nearly got T-boned. Another very close call. Come around a nice curve to have two raccoons run across the road in front of me. Missed them by about a foot and a half. Three close calls in about as many miles. My wife said maybe we weren't spose to be riding today. Used up a bit of my brakes today but got home safe and sound. I am glad I drive with my eyes open!

 

You should go buy a lottery ticket. The other thing everyone always says stuff happens in threes so you should be good for a bit.

 

It definately was your day.

 

Looks like the gods were looking out for you today bro, but so was mayhem!

 

Time to park it for today! Wow what a day! Glad you were riding ready! Sounds like you had the skills to keep you and your wife upright today.

 

x2. Glad your still here to tell about it after all that.

 

 

no point , he's already used up his luck for today

glad you made it through the day in one piece , keep it up !

 

What you had was an "adventurous ride"! Seriously, everyone here should have the luck you had today. Way to go avoiding the hazards.

 

I probably would have had to stop at the local walmart to pick me up a set of new britches after the first incident!
