Son of a gun...

This is a funny thread - guess I have to add my tale of dumbness. . .

I was out doing some box blade work to clean up a wooded area last year. When I got back to the house I discovered no ringy dingy in my pocket

Somehow it fell out of my pants pocket - still don't know how. Well back out into the woods to search. No luck at all. I was pretty sure I must have run it over in one of the many passes I made but being the eternal optimist I had my wife call the cell # a few times while I searched. Still no luck. As I went through the garage to get into the house I heard my favorite ring tone, "warning, warning its the wife, its the wife". The darn phone had fallen to the side of the tractor seat & gotten wedged there

I was going to call him and tell him not to hurt it, but he did it anyway.

I never use an iPod, it drowns out the voices in my head and they don't like it

For years I have carried my truck keys in my front shirt pocket, so I could keep my truck locked and guns safe from kids/grand kids while quickly accessible.

Last week after working in the woods for millionth time, I became concerned that I might accidentally drop them and lose them in the leaves etc., so I took them out when I got home and haven't seen them since.

I still wonder where that Kubota key is...

Four years ago I was working in a quarry pushing shot rock from the blast off the quarry road with a D9. Back then I use to hang my Nextel off my front pocket. I stopped and hopped out on the track to talk to the guy on the other dozer for a minute, jumped in, backed up, dropped the blade, and started pushing. About five minutes went by before I realized it was gone. I asked the other guy to call my phone and he got the message "the Nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is not available".......oops

I feel your pain

I am beginning to think after a while, they just dissolve, we cannot keep track of those darned things. We have had to buy new keys for every Kubota we have.

Not tractor related but a couple of years ago my son-in-law killed a deer and he and my son went out to retrieve it on the 4 wheeler. It was just about dark and they took one of our walkie talkies with them. It took them forever to get back because it was so dark and they just about got lost weaving around trying to get through the trees. When they made it back they had the deer but not the talkie. Of course it HAD to be CAMO! Still haven't found it...

Then another time I was fishing a farm pond in a little john boat and my wife called. Then she called again. I figured she'd do it again before I got finished so I just set my Blackberry on the bench seat well out of the way so nothing would happen to it. But in all of my bumping around in the boat, it slid off into the gas tank and battery area. It wasn't a terribly dry boat and it laid in the water that had accumulated back there for a good couple of hours before I realized it. I tried drying it and it worked for a day then gave up the ghost for good.

Then there was the time...

You are NOT ALONE my friend.
