Quick, Like a Fox

Stuff to do....

Like an idiot I ran off and forgot a handgun I'd sold yesterday. Younger man walked into the shop and asked if I had any 'cowboy' pistols. Said yes but only one and it was in my safe at the house. He insisted I take his cash, sight unseen, with the request I hump the firearm to the shop today.

Told him, "Fine. It'll be here tomorrow."

It's tomorrow, er, today, and his revolver isn't.

Me, all red-faced, filled with shame. So, please excuse me while I drive back home and get this boy's Zombie Apocalypse weapon.

  2. Glad to see you back on the net! I wouldn't worry about the gun thing, I'm sure the guy understood. Not like a fellow doesn't have plenty on his mind to distract him these days.

  3. Been there, done that ... like getting to the parking lot at work & remembering I'd left the keys at home. Or cell phone. Or ...

    And what Harry said: there's a LOT to be distracted by.

  4. Now what was I going to type?....... :-)

    Just what they said above. Besides, you probably just wanted to spend the day with Sweet Wife anyways. Hope you have a great day.

  10. I'm to the point that if I don't make a note and place it where I know I'll see it, I forget just about everything anymore. Long term memory great, but don't ask about yesterday.

  12. I love my single action 45 colts. They are all replicas of course, I can't afford the real thing, that $3000 and up is way over my budget!

  14. Stephen,

    We all have these moments, don't stress about it :-)
    If the young man wants the gun, he will wait patiently.
    Hugs to you and Sweet Wife.
