Proper tool storage

Sorry, but I have to give a little background before I pass on my accumulated knowledge of proper tool storage to our younger members of the forum :D

I knew Top_Sgt and I had planned my BL for today (Sat) and I was at right around 9 K so, I changed my oil and filter on Thurs. after work. Well, I could not locate my oil filter tool (for lack of a better term) and I promptly attributed the lost tool to my wife who, has been known to use my tools for very imaginable purposes. :roll:

Well, I luckily was able to unscrew my filter by hand (must have been my Wheaties) and replaced it. :lol:

Today, we dove into the BL and I yanked off my front aluminum shield and out came the filter "tool" :roflmao:

I thought....hmmmmmm........what an ingenious place to store it and it will always be handy :idea:

In the next chapter we will discuss loud noises that " a soon to be spouse" thinks they hear and what possible reasons that causes them to hear such sounds :!:

When we are young we complain about kids borrowing tools and hiding, losing , misplacing , or just plain not putting them back.
Looks like when you get older...you hide them from yourself :lol:

You speak wisely :)

In the past, I have looked years for a certain torc(sp) screw driver to use on my benchmade automatic (switchblade style} knives and finally found one. :D

One day I noticed the tip was white colored :)

I asked my" better half" as to a possible explanation and she told me that it was only used for "starter" holes for her "weekly" picture rearranging.

I gave her own set of tools and I am no better off now. :lol:

Just a piece of advice to members who have spouses mechanically depended.
