Where do all of the Sharpies go?
The Sharpie marker is one of the most versatile, important tools to have around. The uses are endless, from laying out metal to cut to marking engine and trans parts during assembly...and dissasembly. They are even good to get Dan Hobbs autograph. BUT.....I will be darned if I can ever find one when I need it! I thing there may be a little gremlin or something that comes out at night and gathers them up. Maybe some day I will figure it out. Today, I may tie a real long string on to one. Maybe that will help.
Just one of those shop mysteries....

Re: Where do all of the Sharpies go?
Ain't that the truth, and when I do find one, the damn thing don't work
Re: Where do all of the Sharpies go?
All Sharpies, tape measures, & angle finders always disappear when you need them no matter how many there might be in the shop to start with.
And of course every time I get out a brand new pair of jersey gloves for Tig welding, somehow 10 minutes later they seemed to have "walked off" somewhere & all I can find is 4 or 5 old pairs of old nasty jersey gloves that are unusable, mismatched, & tore up from past use.
And then there's always the mystery of how a dropped socket always rolls under the car to the exact dead center point just out of reach from either side every damn time.

What I really hate is when I put something away in a place so I won't forget where it's at. And what happens, I forget where I put it .

I can deffinitely relate.

I thought I was the only one that done that. Right after I bought my chain saw I put it up out of sight so no one could see not even me about a month and a half later I looked for it 3 days and gave up.told the wife used the thing one time and somebody do got it.About 2 months later I was looking up in the rafters on a old door I had laying across them and there was my chain saw.Talking about feeling stupid
An yes it seam everytime I need a sharpie it has taken legs and walk or run off

I once amused my buddies by getting really frustrated looking for the hammer I was carrying in my hand.

Re: Where do all of the Sharpies go?
It never fails for me that the one tool I need is the only one I cant find, that is until I've used the wrong tool and repaired whatever it is I f#$%ed up using the wrong tool trying to keep from having to buy a tool that I ended up having to buy and found the one I had right after I bought a new one so now I have two. Dont even get me started on sharpies.

Re: Where do all of the Sharpies go?
I find the longer the project the more stuff gets lost. After a couple days i can't find ANY sharpies or speed squares so i need to take a few hours
, clean up and start over.
