I spent Friday cleaning up from the Thunderstorms on Thursday night that caused a canopy in my back yard to come down and do some damage to my Toyota parked in the driveway. After spending 2 hours taking apart the canopy I took the car to the body shop and got an estimate of $1,100. Then headed to the insurance company and found out that the insurance agent doesn't really do anything anymore. I had to call and get a case # and now I am waiting on the adjuster to call me (said it would be 3-5 days cause the car was driveable) and then we will decide what to do.

Hopefully things turn out ok. The damage is not that bad because nothing fell on the car. The poles from the canopy just scratched the car down to the metal. My Toyota is a 2008 but I only have 50,000 miles on it and have taken very good care of it. I would hate to not have this fixed.

Not much to see... the rain put a stop to things early. Sanded and buffed headlights, installed tail lights and the billet inserts into the grille. I still need to do the same to the marker lights and install them. No PCM yet, I checked on it Wednesday - he still hasn't had time. I am going to order a new plastic cap for the front bumper and a plastic step pad for the rear bumper. Then I can install the bumpers next weekend. Still need to finish prepping and paint the tailgate. I really hope to have my truck back by the end of this month. I haven't driven it since April.

I finished the "cosmetics" of the front of the truck yesterday. Still waiting for my base tune. I really need to learn how to do it myself.
