Whenever I do a major cleanup in my shop it is like going to a swap meet,
discovering all kinds of neat stuff and not having to pay for any of it.
Coping ------ I always carry a sharpie pen in my pocket. Everything opaque
container or box gets marked with the contents.
Swap meets -- Anytime I see a cheap tape measure I buy it. I put one in my
pocket in the morning and by noon it has disappeared. Ditto the sharpie pen.
I buy boxes of them at Costco.
A lot of foods are packed in wide mouth clear plastic jars these days. Clear
plastic containers are great because you can see what's inside. The
dishwasher cleans them out and usually loosens the labels. Unlike glass
jars they usually don't break when dropped.
Garden tools -- They all get painted orange for visibility.
I keep a detailed calendar. I never had to do that when I was a kid. .I
don't have any other to-do lists. Those things are depressing tyrants.
I have to write down the names of the friend's and neighbor's kids and pets.
Ditto passwords and pin #'s.
My old feet don't like new shoes. A stitch-all is a great tool for
preserving old shoes. Glad I don't have to go on job interviews any more.
