So, with the Mississippi projected to crest at or near flood stage, me and a buddy decide we need to go over to the Island we hunt and get trucks and such moved to higher ground. We head out early, so a light jacket is a must. After moving trucks and piddling with other things around the camp we make the hike back to the chute bank. By now it's warmed up some, so I throw my jacket (with wallet and keys) on the rear deck and cross the chute to check on a 15' jon tied to a tree just to be sure it's secure. Well somewhere in that narrow window I manage to kick my jacket over the edge without noticing.
So, we get ready to head home, I look down and no jacket. Current is pulling hard at about 8 mph. we run downstream looking for about an hour and nothing. This means I have to call the wife to bring me the spare keys just so I can get out of the river.
Then I begin the battle of cancelling credit cards et.. Just before 4 I head to the Highway Patrol Office to get a duplicate drivers license. Having No ID, I show them my Truck insurance card and checkbook. Given that the names and addresses agree they issue me a duplicate license, but they want $8.00 CASH (the nice lady offered to wait for me to bring back cash). Again, I lost my wallet and have only a checkbook available. So, I run to the bank, at 4:30, to cash a check. Lo and behold they ask for ID! I again go through my entire story, including how I already called them to cancel my ATM card, and how I have no ID. Eventually, and employee there that knows me ok'd the transaction without ID and I make it back to pick up my license.
Then I notice that I need gas!
