        Picked one up yesterday, almost like winning the lottery...cheap scratch off I guess.

        Missed out on one of those 3 ball hitches by about a minute a couple weeks ago. Would've been my best find so far

          '70 Superbird spoiler. Ran an ad in the Atlanta Advertiser(this was in about '79, ads were free) that I found a spoiler.

          Guy called me an asked if it was a Superbird spoiler and I said it was. He came and picked it up and turned me on to a '70 RAIII 4spd Formula Firebird that I paid $1,000 for.

          Guy said the spoiler fell out of his pickup. Dude had several Superbirds at his house.

          We were buddies for a little while but in those day when you moved you changed your phone number and we lost touch.

            Are you hangry?? I’ve got a snickers.

            I may or may not have found it on the side of the road as well.

            Lighten up buddy. Life is good. Hope you have a great weekend. God bless.

              My biggest road loss was a couple years ago when I was working on my lawn mower. I had a tool box full of tools and had it sitting on my pick up bed cover. Had to run to town to get some nuts & bolts.

              Got home and couldn't find my tools. Realized I left them on the truck bed cover. Drove the 5 mile road to town a couple times but the grass was 3' high on the shoulders and I couldn't find my tools.

              Probably $400-$500 in tools.

                24 ft. extension ladder on bridge at Lake Fork. Actually waited around to see if anybody missed it. Gave them 5 minutes.

                            Me: Dang! Did you see that? Hold on, I'm gonna pull over and back up.

                            Wife: Do you really want to be remembered as the guy that got your entire family killed over a 5 dollar ratchet strap?

                            Me: Thinking. Thinking. Thinking. "I guess not".

                              The real question is......

                              What would happen if she wasn’t in the car? Or the rest of the family.....

                              WOULD THE STRAP BE YOURS??

                                Found an echo commercial gas weed trimmer. Replaced broken handle, its a beast for clearing brush and walking lanes at lease. Runs like a Deere!
