What next?

Sheesh...if this doesn't beat all! 

We park our cars under a nice, big oak tree next to the house.  Sorry, no garage, or car port, just the wide open spaces.  So during a (not so recent any more) rain storm, one of the branches broke off the tree, and fell on the jeep.  Or rather fell INTO the jeep.  Who could have predicted this happening?


Yep, a tree branch right through the top of the jeep.  What are the odds of this happening?  Why didn't it fall horizontally rather than vertically?    Of course our auto insurance deductible is as much as the cost of replacement, so the burden of fixing it was on our shoulders.  We opted to get a large tire patch (as is used for semi-trailer tires) and patch it that way.  Actually looks quite nice, and it's waterproof!

Oh, if you notice the "rubber" snakes on the dash, and visor...those are just for fun!
