About two years ago I bought all the stuff I needed to redo the outside plug over by my boat so I wouldnt have to string an extention cord from the house out to the boat when I charged my batteries. Being the procrastinator that I am, I finally decided to repair it but try as I may, I couldnt find the new bag of stuff I bought and put away in the shop. Spent at least an hour looking for it, then got mad that I couldnt find it and just gave up. The next week I bought all new stuf, a box, a GFI receptical, and a waterproof cover! Went to fix it the next weekend, end the GFI was defective and the cover I bought wouldnt fit the box I had so again it went unfixed! So I bought all the right stuff this week and got it fixed today. Good, right? Well, I rolled up the extention cord I had strung out all this time that I have been running over for two years off and on and when I put it away, there was the old stuff I had originally bought under a towel right where I had put it in plain sight, (At one time)! Now I cant take it back because it has been about two years almost to the day! :mad: :mad: :mad: <br /><br />Guess I have more stuff to sell at my Garage sale on Memorial day weekend! You are all invited to come, Ill have "LOTS" of Bass fishing stuff!!!! ;)

Wow, what a coincidence. Been there, done that.<br />I also bought a new junction box, GFI, cover, and a gold Rolex, and put it under a towel in YOUR garage.<br /><br />I also have since replaced the box, GFI, and cover.<br /><br />Now that you have found my stuff, could you please send my Rolex to me. You can keep the electrical supplies.<br /><br /> :D

I send my wife out to find the stuff that I have put up for safe keeping. Once she found a L head DeWalt Hammer drill. Which had never been used and I could not remember buying. What was really bad she all so found two other L head hammer drills.

Yup! Bin there, dun that! Last time was a tiny but very expensive component for the project car.....which I ended up buying twice and then finding the old 'un :rolleyes: <br />Course, what made matters even worse was the stupid oil seals that I'd waited weeks for finally arrived and I figured I'd have a sandwich then go fit them..........left them on the kitchen worktop and never found them whole again.......just a pair of young puppies looking real pleased that "daddy" had brought them some "chewing toys" :( :rolleyes:
