Got it. - Can't find it

I know I’m the only one that does this. You know you’ve got something but you can’t find it. Some say I’m a pack rat but I believe most everything has some use for it. Just like that old washing machine I was gonna carry with some more old rusty metal and a couple of old batteries to the salvage center. Figured I could get enough out of it to buy a new pole. Time I got through scraping the washer I could put it in a 5 gal. bucket. Think I got enough to buy a spool of line and a couple of roadrunners. At least I got some good (haha) scrapings from it. Just this morning my wife’s boss wanted to borrow my Tuff Handler dolly for a move this weekend. Well the tires were low some I’m just gonna air them up. Figured this would be a good time to change out that leaky coupler that’s been leaking for over 2 years. Couldn’t find my thread sealing tape. Yesterday gonna put my xducer on the TM foot with a hose clamp. I use a rubber grommet between the foot and the xducer bracket. This keeps it from slipping. I haven’t seen that grommet yet. Just had it in my hand last week. Usually the next time I’m looking for something else I’ll find what I was looking the last time .At least when I slap my own head I know what it’s for. I think.

Sounds like me and you got about the same organization skills.. lol. When ever taking something apart I use little bins or trays like you use to stock various screws, washers, nuts, bolts etc. You can buy them like 20 for $10 bucks at places like northern tool or harbor freight. I also have learned to label everything, even if I toss it in a cardboard box and throw it under a work bench, I to keep spare parts and old equipment, can't seem to part with it easily. I had an employee go thru and restock some of my shelf space in the shop, bad bad decision, now neither one of us can find what I'm looking for... Lol... at least I got someone to pin it on... :-)
