Couple weeks ago I lost two chains.
A 20' 3/8" and a 10' 5/16".
It's really been bugging me.
Slight chance of theft, damnit anyway.
No use looking now as everything is covered in snow.

We've lost many, many, things Sam.
The cost of doing business?

i bought a brand new brass drift punch.
used it once to knock out some barrel wedges on my muzzle loader.
turned the garage upside down looking for it.
if you find your chains Sam, look around to see if my punch has been hanging out with them.

just run a bushhog around, they are great metal finders, like chains and old fencing
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Gentlemen, it's annoying.
Thinking where in the hell did I leave them?!
In the grand scheme of life, pretty small problem, but still don't like it.

I told our plumber about dropping a good Ridged pipewrench in a well.
He said, one thing about it, you'll always know where that wrench is.

Damnit. Chain thieves belong in the same category as horse thieves. Hope that’s not the case. I’ve found plenty of things after spring thaw.

Lost a $1,300.00 rol air gas air compressor off the back of my truck 2 weeks ago. Left the tail gate down, got an emergency call and took off like a bat out of hell. Got to my destination and saw tailgate down and realized I’d seriously fugked up. Retraced route and nada.
Thank God I have a couple back ups.

Do the “retrace your steps thing?”
When do you last recall seeing them?

Go to the cabinet to get the belt sander one day, not there, I turn the fugging garage upside down trying to find it finally said to hell with it and went a bought a new one. Two days later my bud comes into the garage and says I brought your sander back.
For some reason I couldn't remeber I had loaned it to him about 3 months before. I told him to keep it and that I may borrow it back one day.

Lockin the barn door after the horse is gone, I painted part of a chain orange to make it easier to see.

No offense Sam, but how do you lose TWO. chains? It ain't like you you use both of them at the same time very often, is it?
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

I don't lose things, I put them away so they don't get lost. A lot of things are put away around here. No idea where though.I should buy stock in that company that makes those "Post It" pads. I have them stuck all over. I never say to myself "I'll remember that.
I did find a 8ft 1/4" chain out in the pasture other day that I had wrapped it around the rear blade frame on the tractor.It had been missing since summer.

I've lost my youthful ambition.
I've lost my marbles.
I've lost my temper...... especially when I've lost something expensive.
I've lost many many things.
