Probably 10-15 years ago I gave the big brother concept a bit thought or care. Till I realized they don't care and I don't care. We all carry cellphones... If anyone wants to listen to me everyday for ever. It's going to get really boring. Well less you like flatheads and cars. Everything is not a big conspiracy.


But we digress hahaha

How about when you have looked all over and under everything to find
that box of something you need and the air is blue from the cursing ???

Next day you walk in, the air has cleared, and there it is, or, was all the time.

As the saying goes, "If it had teeth it could have bit you".

Well it would have bit ya. :D Close is for horseshoes and handgrenades. It's okay just to be boring and organized.


I don't need a rock anthem at the library to pick a book. I prefer to read more then one book.

My brand new snap on box wrench gone gone. couple days later it was on the kitchen
table so I told her why didn't you tell me you took it, I didn't take it, I took it out of
the washing machine....this is looking more like a broken record....
 
How about when you start out to do something , but along the way you find something that you think you should do first , and forget about the first thing you started out to do.
 
Or how about when your looking for a something else, you find a different part you knew you had, so you move it to a new spot so you can find it later, which never happens.
 
Ever take something apart that had 6 screws,go to put it all back togeather and only have 5 screws,!!!
 
I have replaced many sockets that seem to go missing only to find them mixed in with the metric ones. Usually happens due to my son using my tools.
 
I have the same problem.....but I work in three separate buildings........all on the same property, two together, one a hundred feet from those two. I get a lot of exercise walking back and forth looking for stuff that was in the first one I was in !!!!....I started writing on the boxes parts come in and trying to keep the same stuff together. So far it’s saved me some time and shoe leather........Mark

When I go to put it back together, let's not even mention the fact that it won't line back up or I can't get the screw started back in the hole it came out of ...

Here is my tip: Its been yrs and learning the hard way about that hole in the floor; the magnetic hole we all have. What I do now like carb. rebuilding is
in a large cardboard box on the Floor with high sides and magnets. springs and
C lips metering balls your enemy. LOL
 
If I'm starting a project and know I have parts stashed all over for it, if I am looking for something and see one of the other parts I'll grab that too and put it in a "current" box. that is out in the workspace where I am working. It saves that feeling when you need that part and can't remember where it was when you saw it even though it was recently.

Now that's the theory. I do manage to do it sometimes, but I fall into the same trap myself sometimes.

Mart.
 
Isn't this all FUN! Worse is you have a spare for years, decide finally you'll never use it, then you sell it or get rid of it, then a short time later....you need it!!!!
 
In my case it's kinda like finding buried treasure when I do finally find something that I thought was lost forever :) :)
 
I have Gremlins' in my shop, and they hide all my tools. Hid the chuc ke for my lathe, had to make another one. Next day the old one was back. frustrating,
