missing rope runner.

treehive · Jan 9, 2016

hi guys I wanted to post this up for a few days and then take it down. at some point I ran into a friend who wanted to use a runner. I was leaving town for bit so I let this person borrow it. Now I cannot remember who I loaned it to and now Im really sad.. if you are the friend I loaned it to please let me know its safe and if you could let me know when you would be done with it... thank you
I really miss my runner.... its red.

it wasn't me but i feel for you, I did exactly the same thing with a dobro guitar, its one of three or four guys I lent it to and I can't for the life of me recall which....

I have to respond to this. it turns out I may not have loaned it out, or they gave it back. I really have no idea ..... but I have it. I was doing a removal a week ago and called for a old rigging line I hardly ever use, and about 20 ft into the bag my runner popped out. I have no idea why it would have been installed on that rope, I know I did not do it, but I don't care my Runner is home.. or at least I now know its home?? so this year I have had two major highlights... my third child Beckett started walking... and I found my runner.
I thought I liked my runner till I lost it.. turns out I love it..

Much too young for this to be happening :endesacuerdo:

. Better make an appointment with a gerentologist and get this fixed.

Isn't getting old fun?

Knock on wood I don't get forgetful when I'm older..........
Thump Thump.

Was that the front door or the back door?

I refuse to get old. At least I refuse to allow the maladys that come with old age to have any influence or affect on me.

I wager it was a child. Somehow. A child is at fault

Great outcome! Glad you found it, just in time for the warmer weather. I'd love to hear how it goes.

One of my favorite threads ever.

Because this is behavior I can relate to

Based on how your posts read treehive, I don't believe that you know you didn't place it on that rigging line haha

Common mythology has it that your memory is the first thing to go. Not true. The first thing to go is dates with younger women.... which just so happens to be the only thing worth remembering.

TimBr · Feb 18, 2016

I had forgotten about that.

they are always to blame .. lost tools, messes, missing food.. bad smells, and when they are not, they still are... its one of their two notable qualities... someone to blame and positive match for spare organs.

...and cheap labor.

When my wife and I first got married we rented half a house from an elder lady. When things would get misplaced the running joke would be to blame it on the land lady. Now that I have an almost two year old son we seem to be misplacing things more often.
Glad your happiness has been found.
