Now I've lost my camera housing! WAAAAHHHHHH!!!

[Uncle Pug]

Thanks for the condolences everyone. I've listed it as lost here and on the Northwest D2D list. I figure the circle of divers is big enough that if anyone hears about one being found they'll direct them to me. I also posted a picture of the case and my phone number in the foyer of Alki Crab & Fish.

If it shows up on ebay already then its probably someone who isn't looking for the owner.

Anyway... I sure missed it on today's dives. I borrowed OE2X new coolpix 7900 for half a dive to see how I liked it. I sure miss my Optio.

Sorry Pug, that sucks. Hope someone finds it and gets it back to you.

You've had a rough couple weeks with equipment, no?

Hang in there.

Nah ... he's just had a mild case of "Murphy's Disease" ... most likely something he picked up from associating with one of his dive buddies who's been breaking a lot of gear lately ... :11:

I'm so happy I don't even mind the embarassment.

Ummmm... Bob, would you please remove my flyer from the foyer of Alki Crab & Fish.

OK, tell tell. How'd you get your prodigal camera housing back?

 

[Rick Inman]

Let me guess... You had it the whole time.

Let me guess... You had it the whole time.

Oh yeah definitely. The question is where did he hide it from himself?

I'm so happy I don't even mind the embarassment.

No, neither do we! C'mon...fess up!

I'm very glad you got it back....found it....whatever!

Sometimes things are lost so that they can be found.

I remember setting it on the side of OE2X's pickup. I remember putting it in grass because I didn't want it to fall off of the pickup.

I also remember wrapping it up in my undergarment and thinking I need to be careful not to forget this and then let the housing drop out when I get my stuff out of the truck.

But that memory didn't help because it was not with my undergarment when I went to go diving two days later. So my remembering went back to the grass and I figured I must have set it down and left it.

What I forgot about was hanging my undergarment on the back porch to air out. But before I did I remembered that the housing was wrapped up in it so I carefully put it in a basket on the back porch.... were it went unseen.

Unseen that is until yesterday evening when I took a spider outside. Spiders are permitted to live in our house as long as they remain unseen... but when they show themselves they must be banished. I took the now banished spider out onto the back porch and put it in the basket....

OH JOY..... happy happy joy joy.

So, ...have you found where you hid your magnifier from yourself yet?




(not smiling at you but with you...my own senior moments appear to be occurring with far more distressing frequency lately.....yikes!)

This is the case (no pun intended) in many instances of items I've lost, congratulations on NOT losing your camera case. And I do know how you feel, I can just see the glee as that camel runs around the backyard, hopping up and down, too funny.
