Or the carpenter pencil - behind my ear

The only solution is to get a good denim shop apron complete
with pencil and scale pockets sewn on the front at the top.

A pocket at waist level provides another place to "hide" things.

Then I'd hang the durn thing on the back of the door and lose it too.


I picked up one of those pencil retractor lines from Lee Valley. It
clips to your belt/pants and attaches to the pencil. It worked fine, and
was even sometimes convenient.

Yep, I lost it. I had it one day, and the next it was gone. I'm pretty
sure I did take it off before leaving the shop, but exactly where and
when are shrouded in mystery.

I've found that every little gadjet I buy to help keep me from losing
things is just something else to loose -----.

I started carrying a memory stick around with me, loaded with all the
utilities I might need when working on a computer. A lot easier than
keeping track of and carrying around a dozen CDs - and yup, after over
a year, I managed to misplace that too. (to the point I have not found
it in over 3 months). I had temporarily misplaced it numerous times
before.
