Almost 20 years ago, I acquired a large metal cabinet which I thought would be great for storing tools and supplies for woodworking. The problem with the cabinet was that it only had four shelves. Once filled, the cabinet was essentially a large pile of stuff, separated by four shelves. Large items — like tools — were easy to find. Smaller things, like accessories and supplies were much more difficult to keep organized.
Earlier this year, I bought a tool cabinet to replace the large unwieldy box. The tool cabinet has drawers of various sizes that hold specific items and are easy to access. As I was transferring the contents, I discovered many items I though I had either lost or used and which I had replaced. Thus I realized the technique for finding anything you have lost.
Look everywhere the items should be — replace the item — destroy the packaging and receipt for the newly purchased item — find the original. This is guaranteed to work.

The featured image today is a drawer full of sanding disks and disk holders for one of my sanders. Everything in that drawer was purchased because I couldn’t find the one I already had. The disk holder cost $18, and I bought two over the years, even though I already had two in that cabinet. As for sanding disks, I have enough to last me and our daughter several years.
Faith (daughter) and I visited Old Sturbridge Village on Saturday for a celebration of bees. On Monday. we made our annual trip to the Big-E — New England’s great agricultural fair. You’ll hear (and see) more from these visits in the near future.
In what could have been a one-liner, when I went to order my slice of blueberry pie, the clerk asked, “Do you want it with or without ice cream?“
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
