JAinVA 4,619 #1 Posted October 22, 2018 I have spent at least 30 minutes looking for some parts for an M14 in the shop tonight.I bought an RR and new fuel pump and put them with other WH parts for safe keeping.It seems I spend more time looking for stuff these days.Put it where I won't lose it and guess what, they disapear.I swear I find stuff that I got years ago and forgot what I bought them for.Darn, I didn't know I had that.I am sure this is not just me. 5 6 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 62,945 #5 Posted October 22, 2018 I've been doing that so long I can't remember not being this way. It's certainly not just you. I've been known to put things away where I know I can find them... And hide them from myself. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #7 Posted October 22, 2018 I agree with you, and the older I get, the worse it gets! But, of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,485 #13 Posted October 22, 2018 The two best storage solutions are narrow shelves so nothing can be placed in front of anything and a small work bench so you have to keep it clean! I have neither of these and am considering the installation of security cameras so I can watch the tape to see where the heck I put something. 3 1 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
