Well, there was that little incident with the keys locked inside the trunk. Silly me. Things always get worse when you're in a hurry.

Never ever been locked out of my car.

.....used the granite window key twice....
Learned how to 'pop' the ratchets on the side window once from a shoemaker.

But I've been a fond supporter of the people at

Hide A Key
for many decades now.

I locked myself out of a rental car in a rainstorm once and many times out of my own cars in the old days. I became quite expert at breaking in. With all the warnings and electronics, it's tougher to lock your keys in, but it's also tougher to break in. If Brad would have brought his motorcycle, he could have avoided that problem.

Thanks to Alison, Bubba showed up with his expert break-in tools . . . a block wedge resembling a large door stop, a hammer, and a long metal wire about three times thicker than a coathanger. He stuck the wedge in the driver side door post at the top of the window frame surround where it meets the B pillar, gave it two whacks with the hammer (the top of the door now sprung about a half inch beyond the roof), then he slipped the wire down in and unlatched the lock. It took all of about 10 seconds.

No good deed goes unpunished...

What Brad failed to mention was that he was in a rush to set up the PA for the Craig Carothers' concert at the Black Hills Jam.

I tried one of those once. But when I went to find the box, it wasn't there. I don't know what happened to it. I guess it didn't want to be associated with a Ford Escort! :D

Plans are coming along nicely so far for the gathering -- will post more as soon as I get working on it again.
