I visit some of the other forums such as Oil, Owning/Operating, ATVs, and John Deere. I don't have much of a mechanical background and now that I have lots of toys way out in the country there is a lot of info that I can use. I always find something that fills a knowledge gap.
But I agree with going to the shed to find missing tools. I have too much stuff -- both useful and nostalgic/collectable -- so I can always use a few hours working on the organization of my stuff. Its a different kind of search but a search nonetheless.
