That's what I said and found out I need more parts that I don't have.

 

These days,, when I venture into my Stash Tubs, it's just like Christmas and I congratulate myself for making such awesome purchases. In 6 months, I'll forget, and enjoy doing it all over again...

 

LOL. I have a lot of small stuff that I need to list on marketplace and eBay. I have a lot listed but there's more. Today I sold an NOS seat adjuster handle button for 60-72 Ford, mercury, Falcon cars. I'd like to sell some bigger stuff like 4 front fenders for 73-79 Ford truck and a passenger door for a 48-52 truck . Getting rid of them would help get the wife off my back!

 

Abe you need to talk to our Missouri chapter leader about those 4 fenders. He deals in those parts.

 

Many times the only way I’ve found a pert I needed in my parts stash was after I bought the part new. Never failed, I’d search and search knowing I had the part but couldn’t find it. A month or two later I’ll start looking for another part, which I also couldn’t find, but found the one I was looking for before

 

Been there, done that. Even worse is ordering a part, then a few weeks later ordering another one because you didn't remember you already did it. I have a "backup" thermostat for my F250.

 

For me, this happens with specialty tools.
I know I have it but damned if I can find it.
so i buy a new one, and when finished using it put it in the tool box......rite next to the one i could not find 4 hours earlier

 

My biggest tool problem is not I cannot find a tool. I can find almost every tool I need but once I start a project put down a tool or part turn around I can't find what I just put down . I'll then spend twenty minutes looking for it only to find it where I had it. Oh some times I'll find it in theost obscure place I am positive I was near. Sometimes I think I'm alone in my shop.

 

Garage Gremlins. They're the worst.

 

My Dad would say, "So you don't believe in Spooks, huh?"

 

that is exactly the reason I have three electric staplers !!!!!

 

This is why I need 5 tape measures every time I try to do something involving measuring and cutting. And I still lose them.

 

Just the other day I bought some body clip pliers for a job I'm getting ready to do. When I got it to the shop I pondered the next time I might need it and wondering if I will ever find it again. Heck, it's still in the package and I'm resigned to losing it after this use.
