My wife borrowed my calipers for something while my press was still in storage. When I got my press set up in the spring, we looked high and low for my calipers but could not find them. I bought some digital calipers that have worked fine. Yesterday my wife was cleaning out a drawer that she keeps equipment manuals in and found them. No way they should have been in there. I can only guess that my wife was cleaning fast because someone was coming over. When she does that, she just puts things anywhere to be out of sight. Anyway, I have my calipers back and NO, she is not borrowing them again except with me present!

It's amazing what you find in your own house sometimes. I wish I had a wife I could blame it on.

Usually when I can't find something I will eventually give up looking and get a new one.
After I use it I will put it away, right next to the one that I was looking for and couldn't find.

What the heck was my wife doing at your house?

Good luck with that.[smilie=l:

My wife does that all the time. And yet she gets mad when I say that she "hides things from me".

Hmph.

Didn't Gorgeous George wrestle Hard Boiled Hagardy and Verne Gagne?

If I am going to "hide" something from my wife I don't want her using,
putting it in a coffee can labeled "Doe Urine" or something similar does the trick, she won't go there.

Gorgeous George-hadn't thought of him in years. I think he died back in the 60's. I remember watching him wrestle and he'd get furious if you messed with that blonde hair.

Today I was going to trim some brass. I got the trimmer out and put on the table with my calipers. I then went back to look into the reloading room to get an Allen wrench to change out the pilot. I started looking for the calipers for the life of me could not find them. I was relived to find them next to my trimmer but I felt none to bright. lol.

I can look for something for a Month finally give up and buy a new one then guess what I find the old one just where I put it sometimes the same day.
If I could only remember where I put if first I could save myself a lot of stress.

10X and Swede,I was under the impression, you had to be past 70 for that mental defect to show up.
I am 74, and am VERY good at doing that.
