Freebird Posted June 14, 2008 #1 Posted June 14, 2008 OK folks, today I finally got around to re-organizing and putting away my tools from Maintenance Day. Now I know how it is when there are that many people grabbing tools and working on various bikes. I fully understand how easy it is to have to change a socket or grab a different sized wrench and stick the other one in your pocket. I even understand how a person can forget about the tool in that pocket and end up taking it home. I also know that a LOT of folks had tools of their own and it is easy to grab one of mine and throw it in the bag with yours by mistake. So my question is, HOW did none of that happen? Every single socket and wrench is accounted for. Which tells me, a LOT of you simply didn't do a darn thing except talk and tell lies the whole time you were here. What is THAT all about? ALSO...how come I ended up with no EXTRA tools. You would THINK that somebody one have left SOMETHING here. OH...I AM missing a pen though. My lucky Waterman Rolling Ball. I noticed when birthday cards were being passed around and signed that it was MY lucky pen being used. Now I've had that pen for about 10 years and used it to sign off on a LOT of deals when I had finished negotiating them. It may be here somewhere or else somebody did forget and stick that in their shirt pocket. So....if you have it...please let me know. Thanks, Don
BurgyMon Posted June 14, 2008 #2 Posted June 14, 2008 Don, Sorry about your pen, I know how it is to get a good writing pen that fits you hand just right, etc. I don't have it, I wasn't there. BUT, I'll ask ECK the next time I see him.
Freebird Posted June 14, 2008 Author #4 Posted June 14, 2008 Nope...red...kind of marbled looking. Not a big deal folks, just thought that if somebody noticed it they could let me know. Certainly not the end of the world and nothing I'm going to lose any sleep over.
1BigDog Posted June 14, 2008 #5 Posted June 14, 2008 Whew....Dylan gave me a pen to use and it wasnt red. But it did find its way down to Florida.....:whistling:
V7Goose Posted June 14, 2008 #6 Posted June 14, 2008 No, I no got da pen, boss. But I DID leave you a six-pack shaped blue ice in the freezer. Use it in good health! Goose
Freebird Posted June 14, 2008 Author #7 Posted June 14, 2008 HEY...maybe the pen is in the freezer too? Sorry about your ice but now you have an excuse to come back.
Eck Posted June 14, 2008 #8 Posted June 14, 2008 Don, Sorry about your pen, I know how it is to get a good writing pen that fits you hand just right, etc. I don't have it, I wasn't there. BUT, I'll ask ECK the next time I see him. Well Burgymon, No need to ask me for it, cause I know I dont have one and heck, my wife wont let me have the check book anyway............ Sorry Don, but me no have it either...
Squidley Posted June 14, 2008 #9 Posted June 14, 2008 Well what if I do have a pen, perhaps your pen, I might hold it hostage until you and Eileen come up here to visit us. But then again I might not have said pen, but I wont let you know that until you get here
Skid Posted June 14, 2008 #10 Posted June 14, 2008 I don't have it and I haven't seen your pen here. But then again I wasn't there either. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it........
Yammer Dan Posted June 14, 2008 #11 Posted June 14, 2008 Which tells me, a LOT of you simply didn't do a darn thing except talk and tell lies the whole time you were here OK Who did you have watching me?? Saw pen as it was making the rounds but was being watched too closely at the time!!
Crash Posted June 14, 2008 #12 Posted June 14, 2008 No red pen here, that is unless it got stuck in my brake lines! Randy
Sweetnothing Posted June 15, 2008 #13 Posted June 15, 2008 A RED pen huh!? You know RED IS my favorite color!! I don't know.....maybe you will have to come up here and look!!
IH Truck Guy Posted June 15, 2008 #14 Posted June 15, 2008 Don,that's great news regarding your tools.This group is more responsible with somebody's elses then my neighbors are with my tools.Maybe I need to move to one of those gated Venture exculsive communities.
dray Posted June 15, 2008 #15 Posted June 15, 2008 Well what if I do have a pen, perhaps your pen, I might hold it hostage until you and Eileen come up here to visit us. But then again I might not have said pen, but I wont let you know that until you get here A RED pen huh!? You know RED IS my favorite color!! I don't know.....maybe you will have to come up here and look!! now that sounds really close to an admission! from Bonnie and Clyde and crossing state lines too!
Marcarl Posted June 15, 2008 #16 Posted June 15, 2008 Darn, found me out, left all the tools, even though they looked kind of handy, but I couldn't find something else to fill the empty spaces, but who would have thought that you would miss a lousie pen, for pete's sake. Now let's make sure we're talking about the same thing: it's red, has a squiggylie clip, the top of the barrel lights up with a little button on the side, accents are gold. What I want to know is how you got this one in the first place, for it's inscribed with our logo. Well don't matter, it's here if you want it, I'll keep it just for you and your missus. It's real good to hear that all was left behind, it's the kind of folks that showed up and that we call family. Sure is a good feeling, I'm going to attend more of these functions.
Gary N. Posted June 15, 2008 #17 Posted June 15, 2008 No pen but some bald headed CDN guy left 5/6 of a 6 pack at the space shuttle. Sure was good.
BradT Posted June 16, 2008 #18 Posted June 16, 2008 No pen but some bald headed CDN guy left 5/6 of a 6 pack at the space shuttle. Sure was good. I know your not talking about me I am not that bald yet (Close)? BRad
