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.

Stephen

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Parking lot. Work. And I realize I'm still wearing slippers.

    Welcome to my world, where items that are put away for safe-keeping are never seen again. :)

    Nothing worse than showing up without a needed gun . . .

    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.

    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!

    Don't you hate it when you are so busy and have so much on your mind you lose track.

    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.
