off the chain today as I walked up the road to get some pan jerk chicken and make two other stops.
I only realized what happened when I was ready to open the gate.
Retraced the journey - stopped by my locksmith and called a good friend who showed up in Minutes. We tried to find another locksmith - mine was some distance away. Eventually my brethren and two friends decided that while we wait for my locksmith they would have a look for the keys and the remote.
The locksmith arrived and opened the grill - he started laughing - they found your keys he shouted - one of the ladies found them - some good person actually hung them in a discreet spot on the fence next door,
It pays to say good morning and good afternoon to strangers.
Cyan believe my luck. The locksmith actually fixed one of the locks he installed poorly months ago.
We all laughed and my friends headed to Port Royal for afternoon fish.

I just love that outcome.
Earlier this year, for the first time ever, I lost my wallet on a Public City bus...had license and
my only credit card in it. Quickly cancelled that..
But the Company SEPTA,retrieved it and I collected at it's Major Bus terminal..
Everything including cash was intact.
Employees are duty bound to return such but had a passenger found it, things could have been
very different.
Talk about relief. smile

I hope your friends who headed to Port Royal called ahead and placed their order 2 hours before arrival smile I stopped going to Port Royal because of the ridiculously long waits for food.

My nickname is the mayor of Port Royal. I personally placed their order.
I will PM you some numbers to pre order.

True story. Many Easter’s ago about eight of us planned our trip - rule one - sort out your menu choice and mek sure I have di full list an hour before we head out.
Well we arrive - our fish tea is served within five minutes and peeps at di table next to ours start cussing about how long they were waiting. I went over to them and gave them the phone number and told them to order in advance.

They had no idea you could phone in advance big grin
