Run In with Low Clearance

I wasn't going to post about this, especially after the 'kind words' I had to say about the guy in the truck stop in Gilroy, CA back in October, but Collin said it would be okay. And since he was driving, his is the voice that matters here.
So what happened, you ask? In a nutshell, inattention at a critical moment. We were coming home on Christmas Eve, and we were talking about our plans for the evening, when "CRUNCH" - we struck a low structure built over the road. It is a place Collin had driven under several times in the old truck, so he wasn't thinking about clearance issues in our new, taller truck. Me? Collin was driving, and I just totally wasn't thinking about our route.
But like the neighbor kid told Collin, "Sh!t happens."
My lesson is the classic "Judge not..." You can be sure I will be far less quick to call someone else a genius for inattention when all it really takes is a quick moment that makes the difference between a good move that goes unnoticed among dozens of others, and that one event that will be something to kick oneself about for a long while to come. Yes, it was totally avoidable, but it happened. Nothing to do but go forward, since we can't go back and undo it.
The end result is that we did nearly $20,000 damage to the truck, and even worse, it looks like 3 weeks of down time while the truck is in the shop. That is the worst, the downtime. We will rent a truck to do some runs and mitigate the hole in our income, but the profitability of that is pretty slim.
