I remember I was looking for one of those propane bottle refill valves, that I REMEMBER FOR SURE that I hung it up on the pegboard for safe keeping.... I was looking and looking... really frustrating myself. I needed to use the little torch for something and the bottle was empty.... so drove down to the store and bought another bottle. After doing the job, I went back to the bench... sure enough, there it was ..... hanging right behind the next item that I hung on the same hook for "safe keeping":mur:

Years ago a bike helmet I bought had a sticker for you to write your name & emergency contact info on. One line said "Medical conditions" So of course the wise-*** in me had to write "i am injured from a bike accident" :D

Plus they work when the temperature gets below 30ー. Maybe not a big deal where you live, but it sure is here.



No kidding! Likewise, a cord that was neatly coiled when it was put away ties itself into multiple knots while in storage.



This goes double for a misplaced tool, especially one you need NOW. Best way to find it is to get cleaned up/change clothes, go to town and buy a new one. The old one will magically appear while you're gone. :confused3:

Now U know why I have so many measuring tapes! vice grips and pliers.

Who said anything about replacing the fixtures? I just threw away the ballasts , checked and made sure the tombstones weren't shorted out, and plugged in the LED tubes in place of the fluorescent tubes. No repainting, no replacing of fixtures. No worries. I am busy enjoying the money savings, the fact they come on in the garage when it is freezing cold, and the extra light. I don't see any downside. OH, on top of that they don't make any RFI either.

Yep, pretty simple with huge gain.

Sometimes our birth date inhibits our progress. :D

No matter how many tools you cram into a belt, tote, bag or box, once you get up the ladder, you'll be missing at least one that you need.

There is absolutely no question that the fastest way to find a missing tool or part is to purchase a replacement. The missing one will show up as soon as you return with the new one.

It matters not what you have, what matters is what you can find.

And - I don't know about you, but my wife hides my s%$t and the fact that she always knows where something is proves it.

Thats been my belief for a long time. But she denies it. Need to put up some trail cameras. .
