    Most often, when we lose a colt, a good shaking of a feed bucket and a whistle or two will provide the wanted results! In your case, maybe a laynard is in order! Glad you found your sidearm!

    Really great day. Tried that feed bucket thing, didn't work. Must have have the wrong brand of feed. Definitely don't shoot it often enough, but I already knew that one. Might need a lanyard, but then I would just forget where I put a different one. When I load up to go to the farm, I take everything I think I want to shoot, and a few extra's in case somebody else wants to do that. Always stay as long as possible, and then have to rush to put them up. Just didn't put that one up in the right place, and it was in a spent ammo bag that I hadn't put anything else in that trip. Just need to put them where they belong as they come out of the truck, then I won't have that problem.

    I couldn't THROW my Commander away. Had it stolen when a goblin broke into the apartment. LEO saw it sticking out from under the driver's seat of a car he stopped for a traffic violation. Got it back.Stolen again from a different apartment by one of the maintenance guys who had a key to every apartment. It was used in a bank robbery in Arkansas and taken from the perp by the arresting FBI guy. Luckily, a friend on the Arlington, VA police force was FBI liaison and was able to kepp it from being destroyed. FBI agent hand delivered it to me.Stolen twice, returned twice. Like I said, couldn't throw it away. Still carrying it.Mudge the fortunate.
    I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!

    Hey Mudge, you must have had a boomerrang engraved on the frame, cause it keeps coming back. (or a good retriver)
