    Went with the wife to antique row down town today and was thrilled to find a Simpson Chubby 2 in "slightly used" condition for $125. My wife was not so thrilled, and less thrilled when I talked him down to $100 and bought it! On the way out of the city I hit a pot hole and blew a tire, pulled over and put on the donut and headed on my way. Less than a block down the road I realized I had left my bag of goodies on the side walk after I put the jack, tire and trunk liner back. I circled the block, only to find it was already gone :( Needless to say, the wife is really not happy now and I feel like crying :( Oh well, perhaps a brand new one will come my way for my birthday :)

    Sorry for the loss. I've done something very similar before and still kick myself when I think about it.

    My own fault...It's a shame as it'll likely wind up in the trash.

    It absolutely stinks that your brush was taken & that you had the flat, but I think you did a lot of stuff "right" today-- You & your wife hang out together & enjoy doing things like shopping for antiques...You can hold your own haggling, so you didn't lose as much as you might have lost...You're competent changing a tire, something else that's getting to be pretty rare. I had a client miss a meeting a few weeks ago b/c he had a flat & had to call someone out to put on his spare tire. I don't know what that service costs, but self-reliance is priceless.

    RIP Chubby 2

    Interesting perspective, thanks. A good night sleep last night and it already feels like old news. I'm not gonna let it bother me further. I've done dumb things before, I'll do the again. I've been more fortunate in my life than not...
