Hit the lottery
« on: June 24, 2010, 04:10:39 AM »
Had a piece of wood chip out on a gun last Friday....just a tiny piece, little bigger than a grain of rice.  As I have two inches of sawdust and wood chips on the floor in front of my bench (needle in a hay stack), I didn't bother looking for it and figured I would just fix it later. Well today was later. I grabbed a handfull of shavings to see if there was something I could make fit......Fifth piece I pulled out was my chip!
One chance in 10,000!!!!! ;D ;D ;D I'm having a great day!

I KNOW IT! If i would have been betting on it, I would have swore that it was still on the bench some place. ;D ;D ;D Stained it , glued it in place and went and poured myself a Gin and Tonic...called it day! It can only go down hill from there!

I am just grateful to know that I am not the only one to have to engage in this kind of "on your knees" activity!!!  Oh and did I say praying to find it??????
