I was about to turn a new stud to hold my AXA tool post. I grabbed my
Mitutoyo digital
mic's. Dead batteries. Grabbed the 1-2" one that I bought later, dead too.

What sucks is I bought a cased set of Starrett non digital mic's at a
company auction that
were in calibration. All the time I was drywalling and finishing the shop
they set on the
right side of the vise on my Bridgeport. Today, when I actually needed the
0-1", I
couldn't find the case.

According to Murphy's Law your set of Starret Mics will miraculously
appear about 3 minutes after you have bought replacements..



Now here is the way it goes at Flash's Factory of the Forlorn:

1. Need tool
2. Spend thirty minutes searching for tool.
3. Give up search.
4. Go to Harbor Freight or to the Borg or to Harvey's Handy Hardware and
buy another
5. Use Brand new replacement tool
6. Put it somewhere where it will be certain that it will not get lost.
7. Discover three other units of the same tool - that were bought because
we cold not find the ones we KNEW we had already - LYING RIGHT THERE WHERE
WE PUT THE NEW ONE.

Some tools are found in my place in quantities of four and five. (If found
at all - someday, I MUST get this place organized)

I've just never misplaced the mini-mill, yet, but wouldn't another one be
cool?
