Missing Extender

After getting my X10 extender back from JohnK, it finally made it from the back of my car into the house. This was around a month ago.
When I finally decided to put that bow up this evening, the extender wasn't in the bag I vividly remembered dropping it into. So I searched the closet where the bag was hanging. I searched the nearby shelves. I searched my car. I searched the bag. I searched all of my "random accessory" boxes. I searched my desk drawers. *shudder* Finally about to give up hope, I decided to pack away my bow. I had searched the pockets in my quiver but realised that the bag was upright when I dropped the extender into it. Which also meant the quiver was upright.
Turned over the quiver, quick thunk on the bottom, extender dropped out of the third tube.

D'OH!

Have another look Grant, my chestguard may be hiding in there. It certainly ain't where I thought I'd put it.

quick thunk on the bottom

Hey - who you calling quick?

Sunday - very confusing. I usually rest my bow on the end of the long rod whilst nocking my next arrow - couldn't quite get my head round why the ground seemed further away than usual. Only when taking my bow down after the shoot did I realise that I has screwed the V-bar straight into the riser, and the 4" extension was still in the case!

Thought the bow didn't feel right; it explains why my score was worse than usual!

DOUBLE DOH!

It's a widely known fact that the average person spends 37.4654321% of his/her life looking for things. All I can say is that the average person is either:
a) Not an archer
or, b) doesn't live with my significant other.
Last week, looking for my Allen keys to fix my bow, turned the house upside-down, ransacked the garage, emptied the junk out of the footwells of my car, couldn't find the little blighters anywhere. So off I popped to B&Q and returned home, the thick end of an hour later, 12 quid lighter and with a replacement set of Allen keys.
Friday night, getting ready to go to her Christmas Doo, I got the shoe-shine kit out of the cupboard to bull up my dancing shoes.
Guess what was in the shoe-shine box... My old set of bl**dy Allen keys! Aaaarrrggghhhhhh!!!!
Why on earth would you put them there??? Silly woman!
So in a bid to escape this kind of behaviour, I go shooting, and then spend half my time swinging a metal detector round looking for lost arrows!
37.4654321% my a**e!
(Got my own back though, I hid her slippers in the freezer!)
