Close call...

Well, no pictures today. We went to Elko today to go to the dentist; all 4 of us-yes, this is what we do when we finally get time for all of us to be together. Lets go to the dentist!!! Ok, just joking. Anyhow, on our way to Elko we almost got in a serious wreck-I was driving(that is not why we were almost in the wreck-haha) and we were going up Emigrant, heading east, and as you all know, semi-trucks go really slow up that hill. Well, I was coming up on a slow truck and did what anyone would do and started passing him. He had 2 trailers so he was really long. As I got up towards the front of the truck he started to drift towards me and then he really came my way. Needless to say, I APPLIED the brakes and moved over--way over-we were now in the median-thankfully there was median to go into and not gaurd rails or we would have been squished. I didn't lose control or hit a marker post and Bryan was quite impressed with how well I handled it. Man O man was I shaking!!! The truck driver moved back into his lane and so I got back on the road and past him. After we went over the summit I stopped at Palisade and waited for him to pass us while Bryan called dispatch to get a trooper out here so we could issue a citation-yes, you can issue a citation. We followed the trucker to Carlin where he got off the interestate and went to the Flying J. He new we were following him but tried to ignore us. Bryan
got out and went to go have a "conversation" with the guy while we waited for NHP to get there. When Bryan told him that he ran us off the road all the guy said was, "oh, sorry." Bryan told him that we were going to cite him for this and that NHP would be here soon. Anyhow, when NHP got there, Bryan made sure he was cited for wreckless driving and then told the trooper to do whatever else he wanted-the guys log book hadn't been filled out in a couple days, etc....
So, we were a few minutes late getting to the dentist but we made it on one piece. The dentist went ok-Bryan needs another crown(but thankfully no root canal), Marisa has one cavity and I need a filling re-done. Jessie 's teeth look good just need to go talk to an orthodontist to see if anything can/should be done now.
After the dentist we went and ate lunch, went to the gun store, feed store and the vet clinic, oh and got fuel then headed home. The trip home was uneventful. After we got home, Bryan had to pack his bag, shave his head and get going to Carson City. He is teaching EVOC at the academy the rest of the week. EVOC-Emergency Vehicle Operations Course.
Well, hope that all is well with you. I'm getting tired.
