Wollf - it is ALWAYS behind the milk! Or the couch, or the water bottle on the counter or....

back of the closet behind the ammo and 30.06...i think.

threaten animals with 30.06 for 10 minutes, then remember that they don't speak English very good, on average half the vocabulary of 80% of undocumented workers.

i've already *checked* the usual spots with no luck.... i thinks my Wollf did too good of a job this time around..... not behind the milk carton or beer, not under the sink, checked the laundry basket and linen closet, the couch is busted [funny story on that] so it's not under there, took apart *his* side of the garage, and even crawled under the boyz' beds.... hmmmm, where could it be??? gosh dang it..... even went is far as to look in the sock drawer........ if I were Wollf where would I have put it? scratch that; it's no wonder i can't find it, and no wonder he doesn't remember... maybe Wollf needs a patch in his stocking this year!

I know you checked the laundry basket, Dragn, but did you look in his back pocket? I've noticed that that's where the wrench (or tape measure or screwdriver or flashlight that was "right here a minute ago") sometimes is when my husband is searching all over for it... LOL!
