A lockpicking story!
And before your criticize me about picking locks I don't own, put yourself in my shoes!
My dad is a logger and usually works behind locked gates on private property. I went with him today to help out because I didn't want him to be alone. On the way in I unlocked the gate with the keys that my dad had, after work we headed down and I went to unlock the lock, somebody had changed them!! There was a Federal padlock and a huge Medeco padlock, when we came in I unlocked an American. We are miles into the mountains, no food or water, nothing. I tried calling the sawmill, no response, the sheriff's office, no help. I couldn't pick that Federal for the life of me, no pins would set, couldn't even feel what I was doing, laying on my back in the rain picking this lock inside a well casing pipe. I have no experience with Federal, never even tried picking one before, and of course that Medeco was out!! We turned around and tried finding another way out, 15 miles or so later another gate, this time a Medeco, and a Master 532. That Master is the only reason I am home, warming up drinking an ice cold beer right now. Picking that lock to get home was something that I couldn't find an option to avoid. What would you guys do, and be nice!

I have been in the souls of many women, but I always end up on the soles of there shoes.
