Tom, I think we have all been there. Things happen, and sometimes we just breathe a sigh of relief, but sometimes we get burned. I sat a Win 23 Pigeon Grade XTR 20 ga on the roof of my car once and then drove away only to see it in my rear view mirror. Brings back bad memories. We feel your pain.

Harold: I don't feel so bad now after that story. I'm curious how did that story play out on your gun. Thomas

I refuse to post my stupid moves on a public board because a few people here may still harbor the impression that I know what i am doing.

A friend and I were Grouse hunting in the Upper Pennisula and after the hunt we were haveing a drink, giving the dogs some water and generally reviewing the day. We loaded dog, and gear in the truck and drove the hour or so back home. When we were unpacking the truck Dave asked "did you put my gun in the truck?". "No I didn't touch your gun" was the reply. He had left his Holland and Holland leaning against a tree
 He drove back and managed not only to find the two track we were on but there was his gun leaning against the tree. Some people are just lucky.

So far I haven't had such poor luck... but the older I get the more diminished the 'law of averages' becomes. My day will come I'm sure... I just hope there are no witnesses.
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!!

Thomas,
That was back in the late '80's and I sent it to a Winchester reccomended 'smith in Coudersport, Pa. One year while hunting in the UP, I met a bigshot in the NRA who was going to meet Wayne Lapierre and go hunting out west. He liked the gun and showed up at the cabin that night with a wad of hundreds . I had just started with the old sxs and had bought my first 16 SW and 16 VH and never looked back. |
