I know I've mentioned in here in some thread or other about memory and/or losing things how that some times, seeing as how I have lost so many things, I can be looking for something I just lost and wind up finding something I lost earlier, even if I still couldn't find that which I just lost. :rolleyes:

Here is the latest chapter in this on-going saga:
Al couple of years ago I bought a nice little pocket knife. It is the Buck 389G. Handy little knife and I got into the habit of carrying it more than any of the others just for EDC. I wanted something a little little bigger for workin' out side days. Something on the sane order as the buck but bigger. I finally got the Uncle Henry Old Timer. Perfect. Just what I wanted.

I got out my Lansky and got all those blades good and sharp. Then I turned right around and misplaced the Buck. :confused: Looked for it for several weeks, to no avail. I just told myself to relax, that it would turn up sooner or later.

Do I know myself or what? Yesterday I was looking for my phone (I lose this about twice a day) and whadda ya know? I found that little Buck. I later found the phone, too. I just have Miss Pam call me from her phone. It was in my jacket pocket all the time. The Buck was on the dresser behind my hearing aid box. :D

Until next time....

Back around Father's Day I was putting my bicycling equipment away and decided to put my LCR 38 someplace it would be easy to grab before my next cycle ride. Haven't seen it since!

EDIT: I found the LCR in the gun safe buried under a pile of Vaqueros, all in soft gun rugs. Date located 4/20/23

Have a divided top drawer, left side contains 5 pocket knives, keys and wallet. The right side my EDC and a pocket and IWB holster.
Every day everything goes back where it came from, so never an issue, always know right where they are.
Now about that dang cell phone...'honey, would you call my phone'...lol

I need a plan like that. But actually it's too late...way too late. I'm too far down the rabbit hole.

And the thing about the cellphone, Been doing that for years. It's the only reason I usually know where it is.too bad She can't help me with all my other stuff.

If she ever left me my body would be found naked and frozen in my dark and freezing living room with none of my possessions around me.
 
Gentlemen and Ladies, we do not lose things, there is a person known to us who has passed on yet who resides in our homes, offices, workshops, garages, and other locations which we visit. These persons love to move things about just to keep us confused as to how we are running our lives. In my case is it my mother, who has always been a joker. Grandmother sometimes joins her and between the two of them have sometimes made my life pure 'ell. As an example, the clip-on sunglasses I use cost $13.00 and I have several of them. Why do I have several of them? Because when I would set a pair down knowing exactly where I set them, when I go back to pick them up for use, they are not to be found. Now instead of spending a lot of time looking for them I just grab another pair and go on my way. I'm sure it frustrates my mother no end that I don't waste time but really when I need them, I need them now, not two hours from now. Grandmother has hidden guns, knives and even an axe from me a time or two. I always find them but never where I left them. In the case of the axe, I set it deep into my chopping block and went inside to use the facility. When i came back out to chop more wood it was gone. Two days later I found it in the rack where it belongs. I know I didn't put it there, so there is no other explanation, other than grandmother moved it. It is a double bitted axe and I suppose she figured someone might fall and hurt themselves on the upended blade. Plenty of other examples exist.

Losing stuff is not a problem. If you later find them in the freezer….. you might have a problem.

We keep peanut butter setting on the bar in the kitchen but a few weeks ago it was found in the refrigerator. I assume I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and just put both in the refrigerator when I finished. My wife got a good laugh out of it. My thought is everybody had to be some where doing something and I'm here doing something stupid. :D Larry
 
Yep, my wife fussed at me last night for losing her favorite screwdriver!! She keeps a flat tip screwdriver in my top bathroom drawer. She went to use it and shazam it is not there!!
I did use it at Christmas and swore I put it back. Only problem is she is in Texas and I am in Seattle. So I bit my tongue and did not suggest she find another screwdriver or go buy one!!
 
When we moved to our new home, I put an antique pocket watch from my father in a place that I would remember. Wife and I looked for months for the watch but couldn't find it. One day I just happened to look in my hearing aid case, and there was the watch.:o


another time I "lost" a Colt SAA .44 Special. Looked everywhere but couldn't find it. I had put it in a range bag for an upcoming shooting session, but the session was cancelled. I went through the safe numerous times with no luck. One day I decided to check the range bag once more, and pulled everything out of it. At the bottom of the bag was the Colt.:rolleyes:
