I too, mixed up a concoction and sprayed the yard. Hoping to kill weeds, bahia grass and dallis grass. So far, it seems to be working on Bahia well, and dallis too.
On Friday afternoon, The wifey and I were rear ended on the freeway in Houston. All the traffic had been stop and go, but had started moving about 25-30 again. I was just driving with the flow and BAM!!! At first, I thought maybe an 18 wheeler wasn't able to stop. I looked in the rear view mirror to see 2 black guys in a Hyundai Elantra. Uh-oh. I put on the flashers and moved off the freeway, them following. He admitted he had looked down at his phone. He was not hostile in the least, gladly. I asked him if he and his passenger were alright and he said yes. His car kind of made a glancing blow after the initial Bam, lifting our rear and his going under. I estimate him to had been going at least 20-30mph faster than we were. We got jolted hard, but both of us had been looking forward, so the seats' head rest did their job, along with the rear absorption bumper. My wife's sandals had come off in the crash. I felt I'd been a couple rounds with the champ. The car was driveable, so we went to our conference (her Mother's Day present).
I've already filed with his insurance GEICO, and have an appt to take car to collision center tomorrow. The other driver admitted fault. I'm thankful he wasn't a gangster. I'm pretty sure my car will be totaled. It is my commuter car Altima, and has about 212,000 miles. Today I'm sore in my wrists, elbows, and forearms. My left palm also hurts. My wife and I were both having "brain fog" afterwards. I had a short migraine yesterday.
Any words to the wise for this matter will be accepted gladly. Here's what I forecast to be the problem. The prices of used cars has gone WAY UP! while the blue book has not yet acknowledged this fact. I'm afraid Geico will offer me fair price on blue book value, while the market prices are almost double.
I just put brand new Michelins on this thing too. The engine ran like a top, and didn't burn a drop of oil between 10,000 mile oil changes. No transmission trouble either. My insurance told me I had to first try to deal with it, and unless Geico didn't want to pay, then maybe they'll help. I wonder where uninsured/underinsured insurance takes over? Can I make them pay for the lost time I'm having to use my vacation for to deal with this?
It could have been much worse, and I'm thankful that for the most part, we are alright.
