when I'm DIYing my scoot I spend 25% of my time......

[Stig / Major Tom]

...looking for the socket, nut, washer, gasket (whatever) that I just laid down 8 minutes ago!



So frustrating.

today: wife's TPW light came on. So I get out the tire gauge & check all the tires. Find the culprit. Turn the car around in the garage. Hook up the air pump. Air the tire. Now to double check.....
"Where's the tire gauge??!!"

I find it on the kitchen table 18 mins later.
I bring my daughter and wife into the kitchen. "Please, one of you tell me why I brought the tire gauge into the KITCHEN?!"

Later...I hear my daughter muttering...."seniors are so much fun!"
i was just airing a tire.....
Scary.

Take a short length of gas line or any tubing that fits onto the spark plug and use it to start the spark plug into the head. If it cross threads the tubing will slip.

Yep, I hear ya, going thru this myself and yes it is getting worse !!  Same as walking into a room and asking myself what I am doing here.....I am getting to the point of making a tray of some sort to hold everything when I am working on something, or if a small job, make a point of putting things in my pocket!!  At least I know have a place to start looking !!

This was referred to by a much loved Radio DJ* over here as “operating in the hereafter” as in, you walk into a room and ask yourself”what was I here after?”
