I'm real lucky - SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) LOVES to organize stuff. SO annually she redoes my storege in the shop/garage. Because she knows how pitiful I am, after she puts them in the boxes, she hot melt glues a sample on the front of each box.
Instantly I can find what I'm looking for. When the last is gone - the sample is pulled off, cleaned, used and then a trip to the store, she gets to redo!
Cheers - Jim
Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
