I Miss My Companion

from JoeUser Forums
I've always had a "thing" for hats and canes. Can't say why really, but I have collected both for as long as I can recall. As I wear a hat any time I am not indoors, that one's a natural. But as for canes, I have always liked them even before my physical condition required their use.

I own one in particular, actually a walking stick as opposed to a cane. It's quite nice. It's called a Gentleman's Companion. The shaft is made from a black golf club shaft, and the handle is a highly polished antique silver door knob. It fits the hand perfectly, and is a pleasure to use while taking a stroll. It looks pretty snazzy too.

When I split up with my last girlfriend and moved back to Florida from Virginia, there was a lot of stuff that simply wouldn't fit in my car. All of that stuff is in a storage unit in North Carolina. My Gentleman's Companion is among the items in storage there. As I was taking my walk earlier I was carrying my regular aluminum medical cane in case my hip started giving me trouble, and my favorite walking stick came to mind and I realized just how much I miss carrying it.

I really need to take the time to make a run to NC and retrieve all of my wayward possessions, but there just never seems to be enough time. I suppose I'll have to make the plans, take a little time off work, and get it done. Seems silly to keep paying for the stoarge when I could easily move all of it here now.

That's some wise thinking there,  I don't know what it might cost you to go get the stuff however you'll save money over the long haul!

Where is NC?  We have some on JU that live there.  Perhaps they can retrieve and do a chain?

Dont know, but it might be worth the effort to check it out.

And a Cane like that is worth retrieving!

Yeah it would save the monthly storage fee.

The Greensboro area. I have a lot of stuff there I would like to retrieve. A few guns, my favorite Fedora, some other hats, clothing, etc. Never thought about doing a relay :LOL
