If it makes you feel any better, it happens to the best of us! Does the name Nash Buckingham ring a bell?!!

Thomas, Whether you call it dufuss or dumb ass it is the same and I am guilty also. I was taking a picture of ser # 258 in it's original case, well I had it on the porch railing ready to take the picture I was focusing when my wife called me I turned to look at her and when I looked back to take the photo the gun and case were gone! It had fallen off the railing to the ground 15 feet below the gun was in the case and the case was open for the photograph fortunately the ground below was soft , nothing broke but the case lis was a little bent up. Now I have a table that I take the pictures on, no more railings. I was fortunate, this D## A## will not do that again. I guess we get so use to doing something that at times we do not think about it! Gary

Dean, done that and the results were the same with my wife...

Kathy knows this only too well. The other evening I left the gas grill burning for 5 minutes to burn off the sauce residue after barbequeing some chicken thighs. Last night I went to grill some nice steaks for us and I had to walk back in the house and sheepishly tell her we were out of gas.... Boy, did I get it!!

Rich, I've found a couple of lost dogs in the UP, but never an H & H. Maybe I'll be lucky and find a GH 16 leaning against a tree somewhere out Turner Rd.

I had my gun in one of those old canvas take down cases with separate compartments for the barrels, action and forend. I lifted it out of the back of the truck, swung around, and watched the barrels go skidding across the asphalt street; the flap was buckled but apparently there was enough room for them to slip by. They came away with a few nicks and scratches but no dents. It was my old Stevens 5100 but I couldn't have felt worse if I'd wrecked a new car.

The gun that fell out is my 20 Ga. 32 Inch VHE no. 1 frame with English stock and probably needs to head over to Kieth Kearcher for a once over. The barrels are getting a little thin but is a great shooter. Thomas
