View Full Version : Did anyone find??? 
 
    
Foxgloves 06-13-2007, 09:12 AM I am just getting around to unpacking form this weekend and wondered if anyone found a grey tarp with blue rope attached to it? :(   
Apparently T2H set it on the top of my car and told me it was there but I forgot and drove off. :rolleyes:  It may have fallen on the road anywhere between Ricks house and the main road. 
  
If anyone found it, could you let me know? PM me or email me.  
Mainiac1957 06-13-2007, 03:52 PM I heard they sell those for cheap at H.D. :rolleyes: Maybe he can get a discount too.:p :D :p

Sorry foxgloves we didn't see any tarp roadkill anywhere.  
  
  
Lowe's has the heavy duty tarps pretty cheap... :p :p :p

And I heard they were even cheaper at L***s :eek:  
Foxgloves 06-13-2007, 08:03 PM I can't believe I drove off w/ o taking it off my roof... T2H said he told me he had set it on my roof but I don't remember that.   :rolleyes:  
  
Anyway although it was a nice heavy duty tarp,  it can be replaced...better the tarp than my GPS...:o

Hmm . . . I seem to recall a certain someone who is always losing his GPSr . . . dropping it into rivers, dropping it into snowbanks for weeks at a time . . . :D ;)  
hollora 06-14-2007, 09:44 AM I lost my Razorphone off the roof of my car, when Ralph was in the hospital last year.  Had walked to find a cache in town along a trail, went to put everything back in my car, sat the phone on the top of the car - was thinking about other things and drove off.  Less than 10 minutes later and a retrace of my route - it was gone. 
  
It is frustrating to do things like that but Nikki you are right it's better to be the tarp than the GPS.  I had insurance on the phone so that took the sting away.  
al'Thor 06-14-2007, 10:03 AM Try losing your checkbook off the the top of the vehicle.  When I realized what I had done I turned around and could only find the register.  I was freaking out, but someone picked it up and gave me a call.  A few honest people left in the world.  My ego took a hit though.  
hollora 06-14-2007, 03:03 PM To forget something and loose it off the top or even bumper of your vehcile is easily done.  Twice, I have found whole pocketbooks in the road - and called the folks turning them back to them. 
  
Now if only Nikki's tarp said something on the side of it..........  
PLMerry 06-15-2007, 09:52 PM Just two days ago I left a cache in China. About two miles down the road I realized that I did not have my GPS. I imediately turned around and headed back to the cache site to grab it. When I got back there it was still sitting on my trunk where I had signed the log. I wacked myself on the side of the head twice. 
  
I think I would loose what little mind I have left if I had to go any length of time without my GPS. 
  
Oh yes, let me introduce myself. I am PLMerry (aka Pete) up here from Ohio for the next 7+/- weeks filling in for a local Pastor. Some of you might have seen me on you logs. If not I am sure you will.

Maine is great year-round (despite what my wife says) . . . well with the only exception being Black Fly Season. :D  
pjpreb 06-20-2007, 12:51 PM Our PDA took a ride for a couple of miles on the bumper of the truck on Memorial Day weekend.    :o  Luckily it didn't fall off. 
 
Welcome PLMerry aka. Pete!  Hope to see you on the trails this summer. :)
