And so as Mr. Harvey would say..."and NOW THE REST OF THE STORY"....tell me what happened so I can avoid the same scenario...as Dick said I hope they were insured!
Don't tell me it was the CAT....mm

so what the heck happened ????????????????
Posted By: Jarvis Re: biggest loss of my year - Thu May 17 2007 11:50 AM
Sorry to see that. I know we are always joking about globes getting broke but UPS broke most of mine. I had a cat break one set and i personally broke one set and let me tell you it's a bad feeling to break one. I couldn't imagine how your feeling... again sorry to see that. Let us know what happened.
Posted By: ihavegas Re: biggest loss of my year - Thu May 17 2007 07:16 PM
thanks for the thoughts guys. This was a tough one but they are just things and things can be replaced. I am really hoping the insurance company comes thru on this one. By the way...Jarvis you didn't visit Michigan latley...did you?
Posted By: thermactor Re: biggest loss of my year - Thu May 17 2007 09:16 PM
What was the cause? Or do you not want to discuss it?

Thanks,
Wes

Sorry to hear of your globe loss. After much prodding from other posters, no comment on how it happened?

Let me venture a guess...your other half got ****** and took it out on the globes??

Good luck with the insurance.

Michigan, so I am guessing the chance it was an earthquake is not high.

I know a guy in the Tulsa area that once got drunk did some sleep walking and went into a spare bedroom with lenses spread all throughout the floor. He walked on several, took a pee, woke up, then had to have stitches on the soles of his feet and couldn't work for a few weeks.
Posted By: ihavegas Re: biggest loss of my year - Fri May 18 2007 06:54 PM

Is that a PIECE of a crash landed, wooden airplane on the floor? Maybe the NTSB needs to be involved to study it....

Chuck
Posted By: ihavegas Re: biggest loss of my year - Sat May 19 2007 11:12 AM
you guys are killin me!
Posted By: bonjimmi Re: biggest loss of my year - Sat May 19 2007 12:43 PM
I think your onto something Chuck, I think some one tried to get that wooden airplane airborn.
Now that I look back I see that Doug called ya Kelly. I should have picked up on that.

Jim
Posted By: ihavegas Re: biggest loss of my year - Sat May 19 2007 01:38 PM
nothing to do with the airplane either, that was also a casualty in the whole thing as well. no fighting, no airplane airborn, no shoe, just a simple freak of nature...

WIND ? Sherlock
Posted By: richlube Re: biggest loss of my year - Mon Dec 24 2007 05:21 PM

knocked over my tokhiem 850 and the globe went airborne in slow motion and exploded upon the carpet in thousands of piecies.i leaned my ladder against the pump to climb up a few rungs to hang a sign and over she went.i've done this many times with pumps that were heavier but 850's are light when gutted.

Ihavegas, What ever come of this? Did you recover anything and can you tell us yet what happened?

Now first let me say i had nothing to do with any of these globes getting broke! LOL
Posted By: BLange Re: biggest loss of my year - Wed Dec 26 2007 05:32 PM
