Getting older and forgetfull

I took my daughter back to college a couple of weeks ago. In the truck was a Napa bag full of tune up parts I bought to do my 312 (yes, its been better than 28 years!!) Well, when we got to the sorority house, there was a group of boys over there helping the girls unload (and probably looking for phone numbers) their stuff and hauling it up to the rooms. Well, yesterday I was looking at my list of things I need to take up north for the Labor day weekend. Yes, I'm at a point where I have to make a list and start getting things together early and doing this found no Napa bag!!! I did get a hold of my daughter and yes the bag was there!! Her room mates were joking with her when they couldn't figure out what the bag of parts were for - "Darc, are you going to do a tune up on a car??" I then had to ask my daughter if her room mates were mechanically inclined to ID tune up parts. The response was "dad, the little boxes say spark plugs on them are we aren't that stupid to not know spark plugs go in a engine!" Mystery solved!

Yes Tim I do have this problem as well!! I have thought about making copies of my list and putting them all over my house, garage, and the truck. I avoid doing notes at work because that's a whole different book of notes!! At home, I haven't gotten to the point of using the frig and the magnets - that spot is reserved for the wife!! Yes, she's getting up there too but I won't tell her!

Yes, I got a real big kick out of that list!! great post! Did you create it yourself or find it someplace?

I went through a key fiasco a couple weeks ago, I blamed everyone for losing them and i ended up putting them in our swimming bag for the pool...i felt like an ass

Greg, i do that constantly with tools, then find them 2 weeks later and go "oh yeah"

Eric, if it makes you feel any better I'm still looking for a set of keys to the main tow vehicle. They've been MIA for about a month now and we've torn the house apart twice looking for them.
