[AT] stuck plugs

[charliehill]

Here's the way it usually works for me.  Say I'm looking for a wire brush 
that I know I put up somewhere.  I'll go to look for it and it won't be 
there but I'll see my big pair of channel lock pliers and make a mental 
note. Then a month later I'll need the channel lock pliers.  I'll open my 
mental note pad and go back to the same spot where I know I saw it.  Sure 
enough it's not there but the wire brush is.  Unfortunately I've already 
bought a new wire brush.

I had that happen a while back.  I needed some teflon pipe dope (you know 
the kind that comes in a small tooth paste type tube).  I knew I had about 3 
different types, fuel oil, water,  gas pipe, etc. and couldn't find any of 
it.  So I went to town and bought a tube.  By the end of the week there were 
tubes of pipe dope everywhere.   Most of it was right where I left my roll 
of electrical tape.
