Nothing fancy. Just a basic 25 ft tape measure because my 10 year old Harbor Freight one finally broke.

    Nice! I got a new one a couple weeks ago because one broke and I couldn’t find my other couple. Of course, immediately found them after the purchase. So it goes.

        I’ve tried performing a symbolic ritual where I pretend I got the replacement and then go to put it in the perfect place. Never works. But when I get the new one, the place I pick that time is the place ei left the old one.

          Do not -i repeat not - put stuff in the perfect place!! It’s the only way to never find it again the next deccade. Please trust me on this one.

            I’M NOT LISTENING. I now have 12 tape measures.

            Real recommendation: go clean up. Not the project you need the missing item for, but a tangentially related project/area. Same type of project, different place. Or same place, different type of project.

            Travel buckets for tools are a trap.
