  2. Clean the garage, its there someplace.
    If it wasn't for the need to look for shit over here everything would be done.

    I have found the best way to find something that as been lost is to buy a new one.

    Stop looking for it. That usually when I find what I was looking for.

    Yeah, usually when I get it home and go to store it away...in the same spot that I kept the one I couldn't find.
     
  9. top draw of your tool box, where it wont get f'ed up.. where I found a few things I was looking for and had bought another new to replace when I didnt look there. Also, dont be so hard on yourself man, you put somewhere you wouldnt lose it..ya didnt lose it mate, you misplaced it, see already feel better eh.

    I spent 15 minutes looking for the rods keys to roll it back . . . they were in the ignition.

    Two rules of thumb: 1) You buy a new one, and presto, the old one shows up. 2) Look in all of your old car trunks, insides, and glove boxes. That is where I stuff all my replacement parts.
     
  14. I'm famous for parking things "where I won't lose them" on top of a cabinet, on a shelf in the basement when I put it down for a second to find something else I lost at another time. I've found parts in the bathroom too, just put it down while I take a whiz....

  15. Grab a broom and start sweeping, everything in my shop ends up on the floor eventually.

    I'l agree that if you stop looking or buy a new one, it'll show up in an hour or less.
    Nuther hint for lost tools. If your under a car working on something and can't find a tool, it's under the creeper-----every time.

    Thought I lost a 5/8 socket with the 1/2" ratchet, so I buy new ones, and when I go to move my Hudson Superjet, guess what was on one of the bumper bolts??
