Thanks for bumping this thread, I needed the laugh.

I'm known for leaving things everywhere, then forgetting them. As evidence, when I moved south, I had a yard sale. My wife (and customers) couldn't believe some of the duplicates I stockpiled (lost, replaced, rinse, repeat..)

6-2' levels
3-4' levels
8-torpedo levels
8-2' framing squares
6-1' framing squares
9 tape measures (6@25'+)
7-12" adjustables

Get the picture? lol

If I'm working on the truck and can't find something, first places I look is the intake or the cowl. My 9/16 and 1/2" wrenches traveled on the cowl from ME to SC. Still there waiting when I popped the hood.
