I put down an inspection mirror yesterday, I can't find it today,
while re-doing the dust collector, I need to look in, the baffle is
not working as well as I hoped, so I need to make a neutral vane,
and I need to see the cone's fit so I can make the vane fit well.

Damn I can't find the inspection mirror... It's so F'ng frustrating
putting something down and not being able to find it... a few hours
now..
The secret is simple. You just put things away in a place where you
will know to go when you need that particular item. Then it will be
there when you need it. As soon as I find that place, everything I
ever put away will be there. It is going to be a bit pile too!
If it's like mine there will be 3 or 4 of everything i commonly use

My memory is very good, but it's getting short.
And when I put something down while I'm working, I generally put it
somewhere where it is out of my way so I won't knock it down, yet
close at hand - somewhere that AT THE TIME makes sense. When I find it
an hour, or a week, or a month later, I ask myself, why the 7734 would
you put it THERE you DUMMY?????
Really??? You two????

Did you ever look around the house for it for 15 minutes only

pocket? : )
