Noting mental decline

[pfrederi 17,729]

Noticed yesterday I had lost a 7/16" combination wrench spent some time looking but no success.  (Why I use a peg board... know when something is missing).  Searched harder today, was ready to call my lost item specialist (other  half) finally discovered it the socket wrench drawer of the tool chest.  When they talk about the difference of just old age and Alzheimers, one test is that misplacing your keys is normal but if you find them in the refrigerator you may have an issue.  I wonder if finding the combo wrench in the socket drawer is a sign....

Paul, you aint alone! 

[ebinmaine 67,432]

If it is.... I'm in trouble.   

 

I've had that same issue for a few years now.

Pretty soon you’ll be asking if you should paint your Horses green…

I have a box in the refrigerator labeled "for those things I am not sure where they go."  I always find what I am looking for now.  The trick is to only have one place for those things.

Lose your wrench and be aware it's lost? NOT Alzheimers

Don't remember you ever had a wrench? Time for concern

I have my grinding/painting respirator in the fridge in the shop,  it’s the cleanest and most accessible shop space I could think of

You guys would be amazed to see how many "Detente" balls are in that box.

So where's the $20? 

[Stormin 9,981]

$20? What $20?

[rjg854 11,360]

If @elcamino/wheelhorse thinks that there's another person that looks like @squonk then he surely lost it.

Randy took it from me, he is all muscle, no fat like someone I know. Ask for a picture of a WH part and I get 2 dogs running around the yard.

I had to prove we actually went outside to look for the part

Would these be the fabled hoobie doobie spheres?

I was cleaning out the "Parts Department" this past summer - stumbled upon the belt stop weldment that goes to the 854 snowblower..... got the bright idea to "put it away where I know where to find it later"... yup, it's later and I can't find it.....

I learned to give up immediately and call in the reserves, real time saver.

SOOOOOOOOO many times I've done did this.  

 

Now I just ask my Local Parts Location Service.

Well with working in the ship yards for 2 years, 4 years living on a Navy ship, couple years painting, 10 years in a truss plant and 20 years handling inked paper it’s a wonder I don’t identify as Joe Biden. 😂😂😂😜

Right now I have nearly all of my "spare parts" (ahem) strewn across the shop floor awaiting "organization" so I can put them where I'll be sure to find them later.

How much later is always the issue, right?
