    OK, I know I have one Sooooo

    Where is it?

    We all lament this issue don't we, We know we have it, but have no idea where it could be.

    NOT where it is supposed to be.

    For me it was the surprise of finding I had a .224" sizing die in my kit of dies, NOT the .225" I thought was there.

    I know I have/had a .225" because I have some 225415s I sized way back when.

    I bought a bunch or unsized/unlubed 22 caliber boolits last year and now that I plan to size them can't find my die.

    How many out there have known exactly where something was supposed to be . . . That is until they went to get it!

    I keep track of everything..oh except for my glasses, and oh my cell phone. Seems the other day I did misplace my keys and found them hanging in the lock in the front door. Whew that was a close one.

    It's in a safe place.

    I just found a box of spare parts and conversion kits for the Dillon that I have been looking for on and off for that last five years. Some how one box got sparated from the other Dillon boxes and I was ready to write it off as permanently lost. Thrown out with junk by mistake. Sure felt good to find it. Anymore I tell the wife what I'm looking for that is lost and she usually finds it pretty fast. I think she likes snooping around in my stuff just to see what I have.I've got so much lost stuff I can't figure out why I don't find lost stuff while I'm looking for the lost stuff off the moment.

    Getting up in the morning causes amnesia as does walking through a doorway. Ya know you got up for some good reason, you just can't recall what it was.

    Buy a replacement and you will shortly find the missing unit.

    I lose a lot of stuff and it usually has been stolen..........but then, when I find it, it is always right where I left it!

    Cast an entire bag (about 800) 38 rounds about two weeks ago. Lubed them up, closed the bag and proceeded to put it . . . somewhere. . . .

    I'll be darned if I can find that dang bag. Looked and looked. Finally ended up having to cast more bullets to load up some ammo.

    I know that bag is somewhere, It's not a small thing, this bag. It's the size of a SHOEBOX - and yet it's disappeared like a fart in the wind.

    My grandpa always said he had the lost item "put up". We still run around and say we have stuff put up when we can't find whatever we are looking for. It helps take the frustration out of the situation.

    The solution is uniform containers that fit in a special rack built to hold only those containers.
    If I can ever move all the old stuff into the new containers - instead of filling them with new old stuff, I'll be organized.

    I had that same problem and while looking at some fishing lures at WallyWorld I found a double sided Plano jig box that I put sizing dies in one side and top punches in the other. Works for me YMMV
