| Why is it?
Why is it that:
1) whenever I put down a round file and go to pick it up again it’s turned into a flat one?
2) that little brass bearing I’ve lovingly created and put in the box is gone when I come to insert it?
3) the control rod I’ve just measured and tested ‘in situ’ is ½” short when I come to fit it?
4) the hole I’ve just drilled to fit a stanchion into is no longer there once I’ve put the epoxy on the stanchion?
5) the parts so lovingly filed and test-fitted are too small after they’re painted and final gluing is about to take place?
6) those M4 bolts I carefully put in the box have suddenly acquired M3 nuts when I go to use them?
7) my only tube of epoxy resin runs out as soon as I open the new hardener
8) the battery I carefully charged up, checked and installed before leaving for the pond is flat when I go to launch the boat?
9) the receiver crystal in the boat has changed frquency the next time I go to use it?
10) my pipe has always disappeared from where I last laid it down?
‘Bermuda Triangle Effect’ I call it!

| Dunno maan, but when you find out, let me know! Could be the salvation I,ve been waiting for ......
My problem is with the 'safe places' !! I know I put it away in a safe place so I haven't lost it .. I just can't remember the safe place I used on that occasion.
Sheesh its frustrating.
One day I'll find ALL the safe places at once and be able to instantly build another boat. | |
