Last year I pulled up the Welsh boat ramp just about Sun up. Only had three wheels on the trailer.

Same thing happened to me. I completely lucked out. Just so happened one of my buddies was behind me and kept an eye on the wheel as it hopped the curb and went deep into the brush. I never would have found it if he hadn't of been there. I walked back up the road about a half mile or so and found all five of the lug nuts AND my bearing buddy all within a 15 foot area. Threads were boogered on a couple lugs but was able to get the wheel back on and go fish. That was 15 years ago and that one incident must have used all my good luck up in one shot because it has been pretty mediocre ever since. LOL

Lost the boat off the trailer many years ago on 276 heading into Quinlan. One of the leaf springs snapped and when the axle turned 90 degrees, it catapulted the boat off the trailer.

I've lost a few small things, but my favorite tale of losing stuff is the time I was driving back from the coast and started finding really nice custom made ski vests in the highway. I think I picked up three or four of them. I pulled in to gas the truck up and the truck at the next pump had a new boat with the same color scheme as the vests I'd found. I said, "Nice boat, got the matching ski vests?" He looked a little puzzled until I started pulling the vests out of the bed of my truck.

I did once leave a brand new $200 pair of Serengeti's on the bar at Hooter's in Key West. I didn't realize they were gone until the next day when I was halfway home. I told my dad about it a few days later and he said, "Well, if you're gonna' lose a $200 pair of sunglasses, that's as good a place as any."
