Jocco's post about a shop losing (or stealing) your stuff got me thinking about this one. My good friend Dick worked with a bunch of guys who every year would apply for the moose lottery. There had to be 4 people apply together and if you got picked it was a once in a lifetime deal. So 4 of his coworkers applied for several years but never got picked. Then one year one of them decides he's not going to try any more so they needed to find a 4th guy to apply. So they ask Dick to join. Dick is kind of reluctant to go but they keep bugging him. So he mentions it to his wife, who's dying of cancer and she strongly encourages him to go. So he's in, never thinking they'd get drawn for a tag. But by golly they did get drawn. So the opener comes and they are up in the woods and they are just letting Dick out of the jeep by the stand they made for him. He gets out and looks around and says to the others "Say fellows, there is a moose over there. Should I shoot it?" Well they all go apoplectic on him to shoot it so he loads his rifle, takes aim and bang! The moose drops in his tracks. Then they have to figure out how to get the big bull moose outta there. So they hire a young kid with a 4X4 pickup and spend half the day getting it loaded and in to the local butcher shop to be processed. All is good. So back at work on Monday, Dick gets a call from the butcher who tells him there was a fire at the butcher shop and everything was burned to the ground. I don't remember what caused it. Dick is suspicious of course so he call the local sheriff up there and tells the guy; "Hey sheriff, I'm a Minneapolis cop so as one LEO to another will you level with me?" And the sheriff tells him the facts of the fire, how it is being investigated but it doesn't look suspicious at all. Just one of those flukes. So Dick the reluctant moose hunter loses his trophy and the only proof that it ever happened is in the memories of those who were there. And no, the DNR won't make an exception and let them go again. Once in a lifetime means once in a lifetime. And that's the end of the story.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
