I'm Worried Sick

[BEW]

I'm so worried....and I'm also as dumb as a bag of hammers. Left my rear deck seat lying on the back casting deck as I pulled away from Hatmakers on Taylorsville Road on Saturday. Shockingly, it tumbled out - apparently. Once I got to Taylorsville, two different folks told me they saw my seat on the side of the road just east of Hatmakers. But when I went back (maybe 30 minutes later), it was gone.

I don't know why my seat would run off like that. It's always come straight home before. If you have seen my seat, or if you were kind enough to pick it up in hopes I would come looking for it, here I am!

Please post if you have seen or have picked up my seat. I'd love to have it back. Or, I guess I'll be shopping for a new one.

That's what I get for being dumb.

Good luck partner. Don't feel too bad, we've all done it. Lost my hat over the weekend, lost my cell phone before that.

Flushed a brand new cell phone down the commode by accident one time...I didn't think my home plumbing would give that kind of flush but it dang sure did!

Skeeter185,

Thanks very much. That's very, very kind. I have a backup...it is just a little dirty and rough, but functions fine. It just frustrates me that two different guys 15 miles away tell me they saw it, and by the time I get back.....it's gone! But, it's my fault.

Gonna get out the vinyl cleaner, and be back to the old seat looking a little more presentable!

Wow....new cell phone down the toilet and it actually flushed?! Amazing!

Sorry about your seat. A good tip is one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. Works wonders on seats and also any of those tuff to clean scuffs on the boat.

Took my new boat out for the maiden voyage 5 years ago, mind you my first boat I ever owned, and Bass Pro does not do a very good job in teaching when you pick it up. My wife had stored her purse in the back bait livewell (see where this is going) and I am flipping switches seeing what, how, and if things work. My front livewell will not fill up at all, I hear the pump running but no water coming in. Little did I know that the valve that lets the water in was turned off but the back bait livewell fills up nicely. Did you know that not only does a womans purse NOT FLOAT, but all contents inside which include cell phone, wallet, checkbook, pictures, pictures, pictures, pictures, did I mention pictures, makeup, pictures, pictures, did I mention pictures, and everything else a woman carries around in her purse, IS NOT WATERPROOF. Not to mention it takes up a lot of floor space in the living room after you get home to attempt to dry out these items. It was a win win situation, I got to find out which switch turns on the bait livewell plus how to turn off the valves as to not do this again, and she got a new purse, cell phone, wallet, all new makeup, and no telling what else we had to buy to replace. The guy at the Bass Pro did say the day I picked up my boat "one of the 2 happiest days in a mans life, the day he buys his boat and the day he sells his boat, for all the time in the middle is just sinking money into the dead sea" Not a more true statement made, and my sinking started on the maiden voyage and has yet to slow down.

I bet you get crappy reception now! LOL

[Chubminnow]

Man you guys crack me up! Amen to the crappy reception, lol...

Hey Elwood...are you sure that EVERYTHING in your wife's purse was able to be spread out in the living room only?...It amazes me how much stuff a woman can carry around in of them things...However they do come in handy, "back in the day" a friend of mine's wife was able to conceal approximately (14) 12 ounce beverages in her purse at a Hank Jr concert.

And now, seat or not seat, I'm sitting down and laughing at all of your stories! I guess all things considered, I'm a lucky guy. Really, I've had minimal ongoing investment troubles. So I suppose in the big picture, I'm lucky.

I do appreciate the magic eraser input, too. I have several things that need cleaning. My boat is a 2002, and I noticed this past weekend, I'm starting to turn the corner to a boat that looks a little older and moderately used. Lots of cleaning needed. Plastic is fading on knobs and switches (armor all???), vinyl stained and/or just dingy. And carpet....well, it just looks a little worn, and there are several stains on it.

I need to 'respiff' it up!
