Re: Misery loves company
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 Last edited by Tinker; 12-30-2020 at 02:08 AM. |

Re: Misery loves company
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". |

Re: Misery loves company
Well it would have bit ya. 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. Last edited by Tinker; 12-30-2020 at 02:48 AM. |

Re: Misery loves company
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.

Re: Misery loves company
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.

Re: Misery loves company
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

Re: Misery loves company
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. |

Re: Misery loves company
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!!!!

Re: Misery loves company
In my case it's kinda like finding buried treasure when I do finally find something that I thought was lost forever
