Title: Lost Tool Box
Post by: Mick Milakovic on August 20, 2008, 11:36:41 AM
Hi All, I hate to post this because it shows how careless I can be.  However here goes:  

I left my toolbox in the motocross pits after the post-vintage race on Sunday of Mid-Ohio.  It's a black-and-white, tray type box with all my metric tolls in it.  Any help in recovering it would be appreciated.  I've posted it on the AHRMA website, contacted AHRMA and Mid-Ohio, and talked to Alex Moroz.  Thank you,

Mick,

   If you want to hear about careless let me tell you about how I lost a really nice pair of Tech 8 boots. We were riding in the Allegheny National forest on their trail system about 3 years ago. There were three of us on bikes and we met up with a younger guy and gal on quads just before we reached the end of the trail. We arrived back at the parking area just before dark, normally I just change standing on my trailer, but the young lady was just a little to close so I stepped in front of my truck and changed. I had pulled into the parking spot towards some trees and grass, so when we left we just backed out, yep you guessed it, I forgot to pick up my boots when I gathered up my stuff. If I had looked forward at all as I backed up I am sure I would have seen them....  A few days later I was cleaning up my gear and it occurred to me that my boots were missing....

My son Chad now always asks me if I have all of my "stuff" when we get ready to head home, then they all have a good laugh a my expense:)

Hope you find your tools,

Bootless in Mars

Mick, that's why I take Harbor Freight's Finest to the races that way if I lose them they're not as big a loss as my good tools would be.

Paul, I'm just trying to be like the 'Prez!

Lew, thanks for the tip.  This does give me an excuse to get one of those fancy rolling tool boxes, though!

Ya gotta have a check list, like a pilot does, that way you can make sure what goes out, comes back.
