Thank you for your prayers!

Both my Dad & Tommy are doing well. Tommy is more scraped up from road rash but will be fine. Dad on the other hand broke both arms. His left arm is in a split...and his right they had to put some pins in to aid with keeping things together. But overall things appear to be good... well, aside from not being able to use your arms for a few months. Dad is now at home doped up but doing well.

But here's basically what happened, Dad & Tommy are riding their deathtraps... err...i mean motorcycles around TN, having a good time... when Farmer Joe pulls out onto the highway with his horse trailer (not looking/paying attn). Dad & Tommy both slammed on their breaks to avoid a collision... the sudden breaking forced both bikes into a slide. I'm unclear on all the details, but they were able to avoid impact to Farmer Joe's vehicle, but at the expense of two borked arms and probably two totaled bikes and a layer or so of skin. But... did Farmer Joe do what any "decent" citizen of our country would do? Nope, the bastard and sped off without a word. Fortunately... unbeknownst to Farmer Joe... his neighbors happened to witness the whole thing and clearly saw his dumb ass pull out and cause the accidents AND speed away like nothing happened.

We should go find him and kick him in the junk.
