stamps ? I can't afford stamps !! I pay all my bills online, through my bank, though I get the companies to mail ME their bills. Sure they want ME to go 'paperless' but unless they CREDIT me $5/month I'm not going to cause I need a PC, printer, ink, paper, time to make the bill for 'record keeping purposes'. next time use scotch tape to hold the stamp on !

When I got my Drivers License renewed the woman behind the counter asked me if I needed my glasses to drive. I said no I wear them all the time so I can remember where they are on my head ! She laughed and said I know !

When you save every plastic cottage cheese container with the lid (and wash it), and butter container, and yogurt container, etc. because you are gonna use it for small parts when you start that project. When you save every coffee can because it will hold PAW wheel flange pieces, larger nuts/bolts, washers, gate latches/hangers, nails, etc. When you see yourself saving any resealable plastic bag that looks heavy enough for small parts or big enough to hold shop manuals/parts lists, etc. When you find 20+ old Copenhagen cans in the back of the large toolbox drawer, and one of them had an air fitting in it, the one you looked everywhere for how many years ago? Side note; funny how big those "dip" cans were just 10 years ago as the newer ones will fit entirely inside the older ones . . . . .
Do some shop cleaning like I did yesterday, then you see how much of that $hit has been taking up space cuz you hardly used any of it.
Also found plenty of small "project containers" that had bolting/parts that I at least labelled with duct tape/marker or put a note inside.
Maybe the worst part of this is when you find yourself picking a certain brand of ice cream over the years, cuz that container can be re-used in the shop? Yeah, I see all those heads shaking . . . . .

{Bang} Guilty as charged! (sigh). But it's quality ice-cream... I don't waste money on empty calories unless it's made with REAL milkfat, okay?
Nice thing about the Wells Blue Bunny, is that they're oval-shaped. Put 'em on a slightly deeper shelf than a plastic peanut-butter jar, they hold longer parts that wouldn't fit any other way. 3", even 4, mebbie 5" bolts... heck... I think I could put a whole TSX carbeurator in one...
I once walked around the house in frustration for 25 minutes looking for my sunglasses and car keys...

Just the other day I got a text from Jenn. She sent my nightly list of things to do. When I got home I forgot the text and went to the shop to tinker with the old drillpress I bought.
Many times I go to the shop for a tool and don’t return for several hrs.
I find I enjoy working on what I hadn’t planned on much more than what someone else planned for me.👍

Dave, that is exactly what I was referring to on the ice cream.
My biggest "justification" on those plastic ovals? Spray cans; learned that any Kroil spray cans brought home from the rig because they lost their aerosol fit two side by side. Since Kroil eventually leaks through the seam on the can, great for soaking or pouring onto bigger parts to soak or over top link threads/lift arm balls while on the tractor. An auto punch is great for "draining" any penetrant cans also after aerosol is gone as you can pour any left over parts. Surprising how much is left in some cans.
Don't get me started on heading out to do one thing before finding a reason to jump on something else, my shop is full of those . . . .

After reading this thread I find I have so much in common with you folks it is SCARRY. After cleaning up around here of all the Allis parts "I" will never use there are still shelves of containers of all sorts, large and small with this and that nuts, bolts, Screws, nails and other interesting objects in them I found myself trying to decide by dumping each container out on the workbench if what I find is worth keeping. So far I have filled two 5gal metal paint thinner cans with little iron junk like rusty nails, screws, nuts and bolts and anything else that fits thru the hole left by cutting out the plastic spout. Man these cans full junk metal are heavy. Good thing the cans have handles. Both cans full will go on the trailer on the next trip to sell "SHORT IRON" currently bringing $6.50 a hundred I got to be careful not to scrap any nuts, bolts, washers used to hold a B and a C together. I now have room in the shop to put these two Allis together and money enough to make em pretty

One thing I bet Ted hasn't forgotten lately. He has got to shovel snow! Even I can't forget that, although I'd like to. |

NO Darrel,,,,,,,,the other way,,,,,,SPRING AHEAD,,,,FALL BACKWARDS......... SO, you gonna lose an hour  ,,,,,,,,,so you only gotta work 15 hours instead of 16. Now ain't that nice!! UNLESS,,,,,,,you're out in the barn at the 2 o'clock hour  when it happens, and then you'll just be calving an extra few minutes less. Did that make sense to you??? If so,,,,,,,,then splain it to me!!

One thing I find myself doing is walking back out to the barn after evening chores to make sure I closed and latched a gate to a cattle pen, I usually did it but I did it without thinking and don't remember that I did it.
