OK I'm opening myself up to abuse. I have to admit after 10 years of losing hive tools by the dozens. Somehow I have managed to lose my smoker. It is no where to be found. Not sure if the bees hid it or left it somewhere. :-[

LOL.. did you scan the horizon looking for smoke? The bees are not using it to send smoke signals are they? I'd be a little less sensative but it is something I have done... Hooked the smoker in the stake pocket in the bed of my truck. Unloaded everything.. no smoker... Drove back to the outyard, looked and looked.. drove back home, watching the ditches and road... no smoker...
Wife tells me the next day... "You might want to move the smoker before you go driving all over the place."
"Yeah, I was going to, you dont have to treat me like a 12 year old."
YAY MY SMOKER!!!!!

Truer words were never typed. That has happened to me more than I want to admit.

I had my video camera on one of my last bee expeditions away from my home. I loaded up my truck and was very tired at the end. My daughter was with me at the time. I had to drive in a field and through a gate. When we were leaving, we went through the gate and my daughter got out to close the gate. She got back in the truck and said "here's your camera". I had left it on the edge of the bed of the pickup. Why it didn't fall off somewhere along the way, I will never know.

I would think you are like the rest of us and have a few so when one gets misplaced you don't really miss it. I don't really know how many I have, I know where 4 are but there are others kicking around just don't know where. GOOD HUNTING.
-
Hope ya didn't set it on your vehicle and it fell off. I would be lost without my smoker.

the wife and I remember it being on the shelf in the garage where I keep all my beekeeping equipment. At sometime I must have taken it to use and not put it back. Guess Im going to have to break down and buy another. With my luck the new one will arrive on the day I remember where I put it. :D

It will be in the last place you look. That what the wife always says and I usually find that irritating. ;)
