I don't lose many tools, but I do temporarily misplace them until I figure out the last place I used them. I confess to some notable disappearances:
(1) Back around 1971 I lost a nice body hammer. No idea how or where, because I never used it outside the garage where I lived way back then.
(2) A brand-new Craftsman 16-oz. hammer. I took it with me when I moved to Madison, WI, to work on my doctorate. I couldn't find it when unpacking so bought a cheap one to get by for two years. When I packed up to move back to Minnesota I found the hammer. I hauled it back to Minnesota and have never seen it since. (Moved back in fall of 1988! Hammer is still in a box somewhere 34 years later, still brand-new.)
(3) A Makita 14-volt drill and battery. I took it somewhere but don't recall why, and now I haven't found it after months of searching. I have an identical drill with charger and three more batteries, but I still want to find the missing one.
(4) A gunsmith tap and die set from Brownells. It hid itself away three or four years ago. I've offered grandkids a reward of $100 if they run across it, but no luck so far.
These are all tools that never leave my house or buildings, never get loaned to anyone, hardly worth stealing. With the exception of the body hammer which is gone for good, I'm sure they are all here somewhere. I just accumulate too much stuff in which they can hide. I need to get organized (or so I'm told).

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
