I keep an assortment of tools in all the machinery on my property, just a small toolbox with screwdrivers, adjustable spanners, a hammer, pliers (electrical and fencing), rags ( stops the rattling) and anything that is specific for that machine including spare pins, d shackles etc
When ever I go to the toolboxes to get the required tool, it never seems to be there.
Instead it’s either in the footwell/floor of the machine, on the ground somewhere around the farm, on the floor of my dads ute, in his pocket or on his bedside table back in Perth
He seems to have a thing about tape measures, no matter how many I buy, I can never find any until I go past his place and search his shed
The old fella just can’t get the jist of putting things back
After telling 4 boys for over 30 years the importance of putting things back you’d think he’d practice what he used to preach
I have to keep reminding myself and my boys that I’ll (and they) will probably end up the same way one day☹️
