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 - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
