This is my second post, after my obligatory introduction; hope you all are doing well and having fun, safely! I was spurred on by a recent happening just yesterday on my travels back home on a large, heavily trafficked highway. The reason I would like to start this discussion is a simple one: since I could not find any similar topic, I thought it would be entertaining for most of you to reminisce about the ones that got away. Maybe that brings up a sore memory or a funny tale, but it happened to me and I wanted to vent! Back on that highway heading home with a friend in the snow and foul road conditions, I eagle-eyed something recognizable on the shoulder, sunken in the accumulation, just leaning up against the barrier. What looked like a big, honkin, truck spring! I hooted and hollered at it as we slipped on by, and wanted to jump out of the car and fetch it! Crazy! Bad idea on the turnpike! But it was gold just sitting there not troubling anyone but me! I cringed and had to let it go: the free stuff that gets away can be harder to do just that, I am afraid. So are there any other folks out there willing to share similar stories of nearly-hads or almost-gots? Regrets on passing up a purchase to later find it gone from the floor? Some fantastic prospect in the junkyard that had to be passed on? Maybe you DID haul something home with a struck of luck. I'd love to hear them! It certainly help with the kicking-one's self feeling! HA! Take care and be well, Owen
