That time a draft horse in Boise taught me to always check my apron pockets
I was trimming a big Percheron gelding at a farm outside Boise about three months ago. I bent over to pick up a rasp, and my phone slid out of my front apron pocket right into the fresh pile he'd just made. The owner just looked at me and said, 'Well, that's a new kind of hot spot.' I had to fish it out with a hoof pick, and the screen never really recovered. Now I either leave my phone in the truck or use a pocket with a button flap. Anyone else have a tool or item they've lost in a, uh, creative way on the job?
