  1. Took Me a Sec 😉

    There is a Famous one…Where the Dudes Name was “Amin Yashed” and People drove

    Him over the edge with “I just checked, You ain’t in My Shed”

    He was promising Holy War against Infidels towards the end.

  2. Yesterday morning I was feeling fortunate I found it immediately when trying to drop my skid plate to change the oil. When I knew what I needed, I actually thought: “Oh no, I hope I have one handy”. If I’m missing one, that’s the one. Most common small bolt under my hoods.

    I, too, have spent money on extras. My philosophy on needed items: Buy a lot of them and you’re bound to find it when you need it. 4 pipe wrenches, 5 Wiss tin snips, 4-10 tape measures, several sets of sockets, etc.

    The only thing I didn’t get extras of that went missing a lot was the wife. One was more than enough, even if I didn’t know where she was half the time.

  3. Multiple times in my life I have lost a socket for weeks and sometimes months, only to find it jammed on some bolt on the car part I was working on last time I used it. Each time I must not have noticed it stuck there as I pulled the ratchet off. I finally gave up on the cheap K-Mart ratchet that only relied on the detent ball to retain the socket and bought a nice Craftsman version that had the release button. Check out the story of this famous ratchet design:

  4. Jellybean: Reminds men of a story my dad told about a guy that worked with him after the war who would Leary’s brag about what great gas mileage his car got. So the guys in engineering started going out every day at lunch time and adding a gallon of gas to his car. That guy was ecstatic… for about a month. Then they started siphoning out a gallon a day. The guy nearly went nuts. I think they finally told him.

    That is the plot of one Gomer Pyle episode. Maybe copy cats?

    Sure you’re not crossing memories?

  6. “It really bugs me, now that the kids have all left home, I can’t blame any of them for losing my tools.”

    My old man used to make me “sign out” any tools I borrowed. He really did.
