Boy that was dumb - Jaackrabbit - 11-10-2008
Ok, so I went out to fire off a few more rounds and dial in the scope before gun season opens up.

The key was about 15 miles away sitting on my dresser. [/#000000]
Lesson learned I guess, better that it happen now and not on opening day with a big buck staring at me while I try to pry the lock off with my hunting knife [laugh].
OK... so I know (or I hope) I'm not the only one out here that's done something dumb out in the great outdoors. Reply back and tell me your story so I won't feel quite so bad about calling my little wifey and having her bring me my key. (and yes she brought it over to me... bless her little heart)

welcome to the club.
I have on many ocation forgotten to pack things on the trip. even when I put them out where I have to walk right by them to get to the car.
one time in particular me and my nephew started out a hunting trip got every thing loaded and off we went, we stopped at a 24/7 diner for breakfast. and when it came time to pay I had found I left my wallet on the dresser at home. I was so intent on getting every thing else in the car I forgot the wallet. well I left my nephew there at the diner as callateral and jotted back home for the wallet and came back. I was only six miles from home so we werent to bad off.
on the up side, he makes sure I have my wallet every time we go on a trip. [blush]
I would like to say that happened only once, but I had another nephew...[laugh]
