I have created the illusion of having it together by keeping things very organized. A place for everything and everything in it's place. I am very careful about not setting things down until it is going where it belongs. Still can't find things!

my affliction with senility goes back into my youth. i think i was 13yo at the time and i was dru......i'm mean imbibing a few drinks with my friend. we were in shack and when it was time go, i say "my hat, i can't find it?" my friend looks at me like i'm crazy. i say again "my hat. i can't find it?" my friend looks at me, then my hand and the he rolls on the ground laughing. i was going to beat him up, but the instant i raised my hands, i found the hat was in my hand. senility comes and goes for me.
Ad Reipublicae his Civitatum Foederatarum Americae, ego sum fortis et libero. Ego autem non exieris ad impios communistarum socialismi. Ora imagines in vestri demented mentem, quod vos mos have misericordia, quia non.
To the Republic of these United States of America, I am strong and free. I will never surrender to godless communist socialism. Pray to images in your demented mind, that you will have mercy, because i will not.
MOLON LABE
I am still looking for a jig mold for about 10 years. That is my record time. I lost a lead ladle for 6-7 years. I got a out a clay target thrower and the ladle was in that box.
Laying something down and looking for it 10-15 minutes is nothing.
I was tearing the place up the other day looking for my blue Loctite. Couldn't find it for the life of me. Was at the hardware store bought another tube.
My grandson asked me for something and I opened the drawer where the item was and found my original tube of Loctite. Now I has 2 tubes to hunt for when the
time comes.
The thing is I looked everywhere except that drawer. Which happens to catchall drawer. I have a bad habit of hiding something from myself.
maybe it's not senility. i was working in my gun room and putting up some shelves. i laid my tape measure on top of my projector press just as the phone rang. i made a mental note that i had put the tape measure on the top of the press and to remember that. when i got off the phone call, i could NOT find the tape measure. i looked at the press at least ten times, and it was NOT there. i looked at the ceiling and said out loud, "ok, very funny. put the tape measure back." i looked down and the tape measure was sitting on the top of the press.
maybe your shop is haunted.
Once upon a time I got the bright idea to paint all my found items with BRIGHT orange paint....the problem now is that when I look in my shop....I see a sea of orange.

Sometimes life taps you on the shoulder and reminds you it's a one way street. Jim Morris
Was out working on the deck I'm building , I go from one end to the other to get a hammer and wander around the garage looking looking for my level.
Guy up the street was getting all worked up. I asked what was wrong , he said he had trimed the same board three times and it was still to short.
Getting old isn't a job, it's an adventure !
We go through life trying to make the best decisions we can based on the best infomation we can find, that turns out to be wrong.
I KNOW I have a small brass& leather headed hammer. I know it is out there. Spent 2 1/2 hours looking for it today. Gave up and used a ball pein gently. No doubt the next time I need a ball pein it it will magically appear.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Have found that as long as I am looking for it I won't find it. Days later there it is in plain view.
Happens to me all the time, it's not age. I have a playful spirit (poltergeist) living here that may have passed away young and resents that I've aged past retirement years That's my story, and I'm sticking with it, Now WHAT was I just saying?

Of all the things I have lost, I think I miss my mind the most. Still haven't found it.

Biden moments
Last year I bought a 24 stick package of BAC lube. About a week latter I needed some and looked for it for 2 days and finally gave up and ordered another package. When it came I got out the stick I needed and put the rest on the shelf, right on top of the package I couldn't find.

It's names. I keep losing names. I see people in the hallways I've known for thirty years and I can't remember their names! The grandkids
come over and I have to run down the whole list of names before I can remember just which kid this is. Funny thing is I can remember my mother and my grandmother doing the same thing. Must run in the family!
Seems I always knew where my things were when in a big clutter. When I got tired of the clutter,I organized everything. Now I can't find anything. Of all the things I lost in life. I miss my mind the most.
I've been told that if you make sacrifices to Murphy he'll be appeased and stop that, but not tried it.
