I have found that the joy of finding something long missing is almost worth the pain of believing it to have been gone forever.
4 years agoThis is one of your funniest posts yet. Julie and I are sitting here laughing. When I lose things I always have that backup "I'm not as bad as Scott"
4 years agoA classic "blackberry burial" for old houses in western Oregon.
4 years agoThey used to hold sheep dog trials in Corvallis every summer, maybe they still do?
4 years agoWhat a beautiful bridge.

It may be revolting to you, but I'm sitting here laughing .. while I can.
I have e few stories of misplaced objects already. I'm sure I'll be able to one-up you soon enough.
Here's to the found camera!
Not bad! You and Ms. Grumby should start a poetry corner for the website. We should ask Jeff to set up a new tab for it, or just open up a poetry topic in the forum.
4 years agoI had a good laugh, Scott! For the occasion I have written you a little haiku:
glasses cameras
they break they stray where are they
oh the eyes see not
Thoreau would agree. Simplify, simplify!
4 years agoToo bad that the editing bar has not yet been implemented for use in these comments. I would have liked to post a photo of one or more of my touring cameras with the same lens cover problem that you illustrated. My crime with these is probably the same as yours - cycling and shooting in the rain, plus making thousands of shots. I have killed six cameras like this by the latest count.
But we share others of your "failings". One time we put a stash of Canadian money in our panniers on a trip to Europe, so as to have it when we landed back in Canada. Just how big can a pannier be? Big enough that despite lots of searching, we did not find this stash until two trips later!
It sure is fun reading your accounts, and learning that cyclists share a lot of these bugaboos!

Maybe you have too much stuff in your panniers?
4 years ago"Not so not lucky am I!"
Said Scott with a gleam in his eye
I rode into the rain
On a street with one lane
But got home just a little less dry.
I imagined, on the road, a big truck
I twisted my face and said, "Yuck!"
This road is too thin
For me or my twin
And a big rig driver named Chuck.
In fact, that’s a pathetically low bar. Don’t give yourselves too much credit.
