I know that feeling Bird, I just left my house with the baler to head to the field and my phone rang (it was one of my workers), I take the call and put the phone back on my hip. Get to the field, drop the pickup and start baling, stop a few bales in to check the tension and notice my phone is missing. So I am lost now, I have all my contacts (customers, workers, friends) as well as all of mine and my daughters appointments stored in my phone with no paper backup for a lot of them. So at this point I could care less about the hay and I had my father start looking for my phone up and down the road as well as the first few bales of hay. No luck, it is set on vibrate also so I could feel it when someone called (can't hear much on an open station tractor). Well, at 10pm I head back to the field and kept calling my number in hopes of seeing the lights flashing. Well, no luck till I am about to leave and I go look at the entrance and sure enough, it was laying in the edge of the ditch. It was suppose to rain that night (and it did) so I was lucky to find it when I did. What happened is my phone fell out as I stepped off the tractor at the entrance to drop the pickup. I originally thought it fell when I lowered the pickup down and if it fell there it would have been in the windrow.
Bill, I am glad you found your wallet also, it is a strange feeling when you find your own lost items when you didn't realize you had lost it yet
