Working on my JD rotary mower. Had bought clutches a few years ago. Finally got the mower apart so I could replace the clutches. You think I could find them, not a chance. Called JD and ordered parts.
Went to run some errands and got home and wife handed me the parts I couldn't find!!! Told me where they were. I already looked there and didn't find them!!!
Might have been a set up.
My buddy would do that to his wife.
She'd look all over the house for something,,,,then get him involved.
If he found it first, he'd set it somewhere obvious that she'd already looked.
She thought she was going crazy,, and he didn't do much to dispel that belief.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Well, I feel better reading about fellow members similar problems!
Makes me less crazy knowing I am not alone in my mental deficiencies!
If this many guys share the same affliction, can I be all that weird after all?
Best regards

Next time PM me I've been doing what you did for three weeks looking for items. I have now about 10 of the double end deburring tools. I would have sent you one for a few bucks every time I open an other box there's an other one.
Sometimes we are too close to the woods to see the trees. O' yea I'm still looking, darn kiddos hid things good this time. Now if i can just find that box of sizing dies, I recall buying at local auction there were 3 over .500 and I have yet to locate them, or a bunch of 310 dies.
Amen. Then theres the old I have seen it somewhere. But where ?
Collector and shooter of guns and other items that require a tax stamp, Lead and brass scrounger. Never too much brass, lead or components in inventory! Always looking to win beauty contests with my reloads.
The worst thing to find is the the thing you know exactly where it is and you go to get it and its not there.I've tried to stop my hours long mad man bad mood searches and if something doesn't cost much buy another one and forget about it.Yeah right.
When this happens to m I blame it on poltergeists, maybe gremlins. In extreme cases it must be the work of a chupcabra. That's OK, I know they'll put it back when they're done tormenting me!

Something similar happens when you have an item that you have saved for years, just in case you need it. finally one day, sick and tired of watching it gather dust, or simply need the room, you get rid of it. Then it is guaranteed that the need for that very same item comes up within 2 weeks of disposal.
I had a profile gauge I didn't know what it was for 20 years. I cleaned my garage and threw it out. The very next weekend I need a profile gauge. Went to the hardware store to get one. When I looked at the blister pack for about 8 bucks all I could do is laugh

I'm still looking for a few 45-70 cases and I don't even have a 45-70. I swear they have grown legs.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
She can't find her glasses - look on your head? Never have found that thread gauge I used to have. Nor the guitar strap.
Whatever!

I have done the same thing time and time again, the good news is I have lots of spares.
I was helping a guy fix his car.
He dropped a socket and spent almost an hour looking for it.
Only getting in the way.
Finaly told him "the best way to find it, is to drop another in the same place"
He did, and lost two sockets.
