Ima hafta get me a hunting license now... or stop driving home from Chapel Hill at night.

Have you seen the Mythbusters episode when they hit a moose? It was kinda like that (but it was a deer- see previous post). The dang thing splattered and flew up onto the roof, over the vehicle.
-deer mist and dents-
The big dent in the roof mostly came out by hand but i need a new hood and headlight at least. I can live with the messed up fender maybe.
seems like I just replaced that headlight recently too. Dang.

If you can believe it it's actually worse than it looks in the picture.
I haven't looked at the back of the vehicle yet. For now we'll assume it is undamaged.

I got lucky I guess. I was only going about 45mph.

So what is one supposed to do when one hits a deer? I just kept going. There was a cop. He turned on his bubble gums. I don't know if that was a coincidence or not. I didn't stick around to find out.

I kinda wanted to pull over and assess the damage but I figured what's done is done, and I just watched for signs of overheating or loss of oil pressure. In the end I got home (20min later) and had to look pretty hard to find the damage. Cool.

Still, it sucks to have another dent. Stupid deer.

oh man- I'm gonna get so much spam for that one-

But it's worth it.

My friend Jennifer gave me a washer tub to build a - well- a 'burning man' out of, only this one is reusable. The fire goes in his belly - and his belly is stainless steel. Pher came over today to help build it... and drop off a very nice cat named Stella.

I uploaded a couple videos of the belly burner to youtube. They really don't do it justice. Also I was holding my phone sideways while shooting. I couldn't figure out how to un-sideways them.
Let's see if i can put links here-
