I can almost always find a pair of gloves somewhere in my truck. Can't recall the last time they matched but I quit worrying about that years ago, lol.

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
One has never truly experienced "missing" items, until you have a ferret you let free range in the house. I used to give mine free range in the downstairs. The ferrets have been gone for years, and I still find things hidden away when I move something.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

True story here. This was when I was stationed at King Salmon Ak. the first time. The first time the site diesel truck came into the shop for repairs I decided to search for goodies under the drivers seat. You never know what you will find with 3 or 4 different drivers. Well after pulling out gloves for what seemed like hours, there was 37 right hand glove liners, 19 left hand liners, 12 right hand leather gloves, and 14 left hand leather gloves. I have to say we were set for the next year or so in our shop for gloves.

I literally hate wearing gloves, but living in the Alaska interior, you do not get caught without gloves.
Last week the door on my log truck was not completly closed when I hit the highway, so I opened it and reshut it. When I got to town to unload, I only had the left hand glove. These are not cheap gloves, and I had managed to hang on to this pair for going on the third winter. I had to get my extra pair out, as soon as I unloaded headed down to get a new pair before they closed.
Today, when I finished securing my load, I took care of business and headed out3 miles of rough log road, I always stop when I get to the pavement and clean my tail lights and check everything, NO NEW GLOVES. I remembered laying them on the drom and to my suprise they were still there, filled with snow, but there. lol
Like Starmac, I don't like to wear gloves although I keep a couple of pair in all the trucks and tractor tool boxes--heck I never wore gloves loading small square hay bales by hand and stacking in the barn. My big difugality is with welding gloves. I have welded since I was 12 and long ago and far away place taught welding on the college level. But I only weld with a left hand glove on--unless pipe welding and passing off the electrode holder from hand to hand. I usually have a stack of half dozen or so right hand gloves in the shop, mostly new. All my shop visiting friends and children/grandchildren now just help themselves to the stack. I am too old to change and still MIG, stick, TIG or use oxy/act torch with only the left hand glove. Sometimes with short handled bullet molds, I "may" wear the right glove. Hard to teach us old dogs new tricks.
