My wife says my filing system sucks Sad part is she is right. I have the perfect filing system! a part is either in the shop, its in the lower garage, or its in the tin building in the back yard, if its still here.... But a couple months ago I did find a part on the shelf in the closet in the spare bedroom. I have no idea how that got there, or how long its been there. We have lived here 21 years. I guess maybe I thought it was "safe" there. I was right, it was nearly perfect. SHhhh! Don't tell my wife.... LOL!

I invented sending egg-salad sandwiches into the future for myself to find.
When I bought my Blue Hornet in 2009.... it's like it was fit to be. Because I'd been collecting parts for my Yellow Hornet, I wound up with many, many duplicate parts. So when I bought the car, virtually every plastic part on it that was broken, I already had! NOS tail lights, a couple of mint grilles, a full set of Magnum 500s, an AM/FM radio, another set of chrome sport mirrors.
Or the Carter WCD carb I bought for my Gremlin way back in 2008, and then again in 2013 (since I forgot I bought the first one) and then again in 2016 only to find the original one still packed away and sealed up. But somehow in the interim 8 years, I'd lost that first carb and forgotten all about it.
It's like now my laser-guided temperature gun is missing. I bet if I ignore it long enough, I'll find it in the spring when I have no need for it.

I have 4 flaring kits because I will put one away so good I can't find it again until I buy another. My original one disappeared for 2 years. Found it in my shop on a shelf behind a couple boxes of camshafts.

The best way to lose parts is to put them safely away where you know you will be able to find them. LOL
