Guys I can help you all! Think you have a problem! The next time you forget were you put something and then you find it. But you don't know what it's for. KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

I actually had a good week last week...I got back a while ago from a dive trip to the Keys. Fast forward to last week, another dive trip coming up and I cant find my sons and my dive cert cards {cannot dive without them} my charger base for my dive camera and to top that off the one who must be obeyed lost her $4000 watch.....last Thursday I managed to find all items above plus that missing bottle of Bushmill's single malt. I am so happy now I am going to drink till I puke!!!!!

It's bad enough, me hiding things from myself...got no one to complain to but me. But the mistress of finance does it and so does the dog. I have this little toy Australian pi$$ machine that carries off anything I set down. After I lose my mind trying to figure out what is going on she gives herself away...she walks away looking back over her shoulder {smiling} and gives me the female canine version of a butt wag. This is her...you can see plainly that she is the devil...the anti-ChristView attachment 1103049in fact, all females are evil....except for Mexican girls with whips and handcuffs. They are angels.

Now that is scary

That sounds like me and my "Bud", CRS.
It can be extremely frustrating.

I know I think I have the same problem but I can’t remember

funny thing...when you finally find whatever piece of unreplaceable unobtanium...it'll be in the last place you look! at least that's where I always find mine!

I ain't the sharpest tool in the drawer. When it comes to my stuff and order to cut out my ill temper when I can't find something, I have become as totally organized as possible. A place for everything and every thing in its place. Often when all my projects are complete, I will go through a section of my equipment and organize further and throw away things I no longer need. A long time ago, when I was just getting established I kept every thing from empty boxes to stuff like long replaced stocks. Got to the point where letting go, made me feel a lot better. Couple years ago, I reached the point of having enough shooting related items (archery, pistols, shotguns, and rifles). Arriving at that point was a load off my mind. Keeping what I have in the best possible form is now enough. Cold dark winter is a time for catching up, mainly shotshell loading on one of my 600 jrs. Just have one last tool on my wish list and it come up for sale 2 to 3 times a year.

Did you ever add an African Big Five set?

Nope.

I know , I know this is an old thread and the old thread busy bodies will have a conniption fit when they see this. But it has a happy ending. I found a big tote in the attic that has 2 Lyman over all length trimmers in it , an RCBS powder drop, a rifle vise and MY SCALES that I have been looking for, for a year now. The reason I went to the attic is I have now lost the powder pan that came with my charge-master.

No CRS can't explain the chargemaster parts. I went about 2.5 hours west of here to teach a buddy to reload and took the chargemaster and some one pulled in front of me and I hit the brakes and didn't realize at the time I had thrown the chargemaster check weights and scale pan on the floor and have lost them. I never looked and it is a work truck with many tools and people in and out every day.

look behind the coffee maker and then in the refrigerator,,if there not there ask the dog where she put them..

Looking for something to eat the other day and found the salt shaker in the fridge? I'm like wth???? Then I remembered my wife with it headed to the cabinet where we "normally" keep it, I think she stopped by to get a water

 

[Uthink Uknow]

If you would just put everything on the floor, you’d only have to look in one place. Sheesh.

 

[TAJ45]

Ummm, uh, UU - then you'd have to BEND OVER to get it. Now, thatsa sheesh!
I built a striper for wife's zero turn last week. Backed it up on ramps, hi-lo jacked onto stands, wasn't in and out on a creeper that much even w a blade sharpening..... feeling it this morning.

I have a nice wood shop and I am constantly leaving things where they don't belong. I get busy trying to finish something and tools and other items get set down and then I spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to recover stuff. Same with the reloading bench......
I noticed that often it was the same things most of the time...so, I came up with a solution that I thought would help. I created a certain place or spot where I would make it a point to set these "high loss" items when I was finished. That helped, but didn't really solve the problem.
I decided that the real problem was the tools {foxtail brush, pencils, small square, tape measure, razor knife, etc.} are all things that self camouflage and blend in with the general shop itself. I know this can be applied to a reloading bench or a metal machine shop too. So, I got a can of flaming high intensity blaze orange paint and painted these chronically lost things blaze orange. For those things that paint is not a good idea I tie a small lanyard of blaze orange para chord.
I am happy to report that it is working so far!!!
