LOST

Picture an eight year old curious little boy with nothing to do one evening.

He comes upon a tin can that will fit various small objects, puts them in the can and proclaims it a time capsule!

He then proceeds to get a shovel, walk out to the backyard, find the perfect spot and starts digging.

Once the hole is to liking, he places the time capsule inside and covers it back up.

Wanting to be sure he remembers where the time capsule is located, he places a rock on top as a marker so that he will be able to dig it up in years to come...

Come back to about a month or so ago.Yes. This little boy was Fez.
And pictured above is the rock marking where his prized time capsule is placed.
He remembered it one day and decided to dig it up.

So, he starts digging...

and digging...

and digs some more...
Hmmm. No luck.

A couple weeks later, round 2!

So, he starts digging....

and digging...

and digs some more...(by now we've dug up about half the backyard, knee deep and found nothing but slabs of rock concrete and roots)

Where in the backyard is that time capsule???

Maybe you will have better luck looking for it next year:)

GONE!!! Dad threw it in the trash when he found just a bunch of polished rocks, micro-machines and the rat from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles......either that or Brian buried it so shallow that it ran-off with the first good gully washer.

Sounds like you know what was in it maybe you threw it away. My bet is you found it and moved it so that when the day came you could laugh at me when I can't find it. Where did you put it? The real question is why did he keep the rock in the garden? It's the only one in there.

I didnt touch it.....I didn't even know you did this time capsule....you were pretty sneaky sometimes. You know Dad did something with it, it couldn't have been too deep and look at all the stuff he's done in the corner. The rock question is valid, but then, so are a lot of Dad's funny doings.

I'll debunk the rock theory - Asher and Montana put that rock there last Easter?....pull out the metal detector. Fun adventure, good luck!
