Bikes: Still a garage full

As a DIY advocate, work happens in the garage, in one of 4 vehicles, in the rental unit, in the workshop, at the 600 mile away vacation home, at my parents home in NJ, etc. I don't lose many at all, but sometimes they get misplaced. It pays to have spare duplicate tools and with many garage sales nearby, it is cheap to get USA vintage quality for very little money.

I guess that's why Frank Sinatra had all his homes keyed alike.

i'm pretty sure one of murphy's law's is, "the best way to find something you've lost is to go buy a second one".

for myself, i can lose my keys if i put them in the wrong pants pocket.

The television channel changer lost a function, then lost another function. Within a week or ten days it was only half working so I threw it out.

After the garbage man had emptied our bin, I thought, "I wonder if it just needed new batteries?"
That was good!
