Nearly forty years ago while milling lumber with an Alaskan chain saw mill, that I reached into my pocket to move the truck and found no keys. I searched that ground and scanned it repeatedly many times, even with a metal detector. We still live on that site. Never found them. Still look, imagining finding them and getting a good story and laugh. Yesterday I was working on some new redwood fencing. I was up and down a step ladder and bending over , unloading a trailer, and being rather active on a piece of land that is covered with un manicured nature. ( Bet you think I’m gonna tell you I found the keys…) Late afternoon I showered and changed clothes and went to town for afternoon espresso, came home, dinner, quiet evening. This morning I went to town for more concoction from those magical beans and reached into my pocket and my keys were gone. Thinking about my trauma from years back, I got in the car and searched there. Then I came home and searched in the big chair and sofa. I retraced my path trying to find them. We talked about possibilities and next step was to search the front acres where we were yesterday. Then I had a notion about where they might be, and found them in the wrong pocket of my pants.

Rick, when you find the keys in the wrong pocket of your pants, it's called forgetfulness, due to the onset of old age. Ask me how I know! BTDT, Don

Heading out the door to go to the market ... oop s, forgot my keys.
Head back in to get the keys and spot a tool that I forgot to put back into the garage.
Put the tool away and spot my last project that needs a coat of varnish .. get that don and while cleaning the brush ... uh oh! that rake is supposed to be in the back shed.
After depositing the rake in the shed ... arrgggh! That bush needs pruning. Find the clipper but it is dull ... so back in the garage to sharpen it.
Prune the bush but now my back hurts ... into the house for some Advil and a cup of coffee.
Uh oh ... phone is flashing that I missed a call.
While I am talking to Pete, I see my cars keys.
After 3 hours I have the keys and head out the door ... but now I forgot why I was going to the store!
A D D sucks!
