Some times you catch a break

God
So my wife is getting in the car after work yesterday afternoon and looks down and there on the rear bumper is my trailer lock with the keys in it...trailer lock key, boat key, glove box key, all just sitting there pretty as a picture. She drove 25 miles to work, 15 miles on open highway and 10 miles on windy back roads.....

Had they been lost I would have never remembered that's where I left them and would have spent days tearing the house, garage and boat apart.

Really almost impossible to believe.....
 
RW - you must be my long lost brother! Cause that sounds exactly like something I would do. I sure am glad for you it turned out that way. :clap:
 
RW...glad to hear I not the only one!!...only difference was I was driving and found them there when I got to the tire store...about 10-12 miles @ 65 mph and a couple of side streets...was towing the "V" for a couple of new tires and forgot to put the lock in the tongue :head:...first time in 10 years I've had the "V" that I've done that...and like you, I'd wasted all kinda time lookin'...good for you findin' those:clap:
 
Lucky is better than good. I have a similar story.

I had lost my 15 year old wallet with all my credit cards and drivers license and $150+/- bucks. Don't know where or how. The replacements arrived and I lost the entire wallet again within about 30 days when I went overboard trying to reach and pick up a bouy marker 30 miles offshore sending another $200 bucks or so to davey jones locker.(Never leave the boat in gear when you leave the helm, I hadn't but this is why;) It was a joke to everyone that knows me. When I got all my replacements in my new wallet I was determined to take better care. I lost it a third time within 3 months, or so I thought. Last time I had it I was loading some heavy equipment on a lowboy trailer for transport to Ft. Lauderdale. I frantically tried to reach the driver to have him look for it to no avail. I knew the guy I was sending the equipment to so I had him look. There it was, on the transmission of an Allis Chalmers All Terrain Forklift. It had slipped out of my shorts while sliding my big a$$ over the seat and fallen below the floorboard. 250 miles riding on the transmission of this old machine while being hauled down the road on a lowboy semi trailer. Lucky.. I have not lost it again since.
 
Ok, this is appropriate. So over t-day weekend I spent a lot of time at my mother-in-laws house. Got there on Thursday evening before sundown. Had my sunglasses (costas) on until I went inside, then they went on top of my head. When my brother-in-law got there I put my costas down somewhere so they wouldn't fall off my head while we played guitar together. Well, we've turned their house upside down and can't find my freakin costas anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M PISSSSSSED!!!!

How do you lose sunglasses inside a house? :cen::nut:

So what to do:
1 - buy a cheap pair till they turn up?
2 - Go ahead and spend my life savings on another pair?
3 - Go blind for a while and hope they turn up?

This drives me crazy.
 
Not wanting to make you cry Blue but my guess is that after a house full of people eating and drinking there was quite a mess afterwards....somebody cleaning up the tables and all sent them to the trash accidently.....if the garbage bags are still outside its worth a look.
 
RW - thanks a lot you just sent a shiver down my spine. :you:

Bro in law has the tortoise frames, I have/had, black matte.


THIS IS :bsflag:
 
Thats why I wear $5 Walmart glasses, I'm always losing them, or dropping them, or sitting on them.


I left my boat/tongue lock/ cabin lock keys on the fender one time.....I found them on the side of the road halfway to the gas station I had gone to.
 
MY GLASSES HAVE BEEN FOUND!!

I knew I left them somewhere on Thanksgiving Day. I THOUGHT I left them at my mother in laws house. But I ACTUALLY left them at my mom's house, which is where we ate lunch before going to mom-in-laws for din din.

After church yesterday we went to eat with my family. I was getting out of the car and my mom handed me a plastic food lion bag with one of my carhart toboggans and the glasses saying she found them on the bed in her spare bedroom. I was elated! Mom said she considered putting them in the yardsale stuff to sell for a buck or two. She asked dad if they were his and he said he would never wear mirrored glasses...we joked that the rims weren't big enough for hime (he's always wearing these big ol Magnum PI / Burt Reynolds shades LOL).

Anyway, I'm SOOO glad I don't have to go out and buy another pair since I've only had these for 6 months or so! I was so happy I wore them in the clouds and rain yesterday!
:happy::happy::happy::happy:
 
Hey Blue, my wife lost three pair of Costas this year. The first two are at the bottom of the Waccamaw River and the third pair she thinks she left them at school and now they have a new owner.
