Well, I guess it does sound kind of silly, especially because I was going less than 10mph. One of those "you had to be there" things. I'll be fine, thanks.

Glad you're ok. Go get that back checked out if it bugs you. I got a back injury in my late teens and paid no mind to it... not even in my late 20's yet and I'm already paying for it dearly.

my dad had terrible back problems when i was growing up, i used to wonder why he complained so much till i hurt mine...ouch is not even the right word. oh now we walk the same, told my youngest son to look at his grandfather and me, you will be like that unless you go to college and learn to do something other than farming or construction. too late for my older two sons both in construction, getting the walk..

That suks but things probably would have been worse if the a-hole in the truck hit you. Better take it easy until that back gets better Blu

After this last winter, they are everywhere, and seem to be deeper/wider/longer than normal. Plus with the volume they aren't getting repaired quickly.
In traffic, on roads that you travel less you are constantly surprised.

Tough year.

Glad that it wasn't worse.

I know what ya mean. One day I tried to stand up and it felt like I had been bayoneted. Never had that sort of excruciating pain.

Get healthy Blu!

Here's one of the better looking potholes, in the metro area, that showed up before all the snow was gone:



Notice it's below the re-bar.

Glad your ok.

Might want to give the tire and wheel a visual inspection just to rule out any obvious damage.

I'm a wee bit sore, but ok. I went back to the scene of the crime today. I hit it just right, otherwise it wouldn't have been an issue. That one won't get me again.
