[TheForge] Finding things

[Jerry Frost]

Yeah, the replace the lost tool was one of my main methods but I now have 
three multi meters, bought the first one, used it, put it in a good place 
and couldn't find it after a couple days looking so I bought the second. I 
used it and put it in a screamingly obvious spot, no WAY I could forget 
where I put it and when I set it down realized I put it right next to my 
first multi meter. So, there they are sitting in contact in a perfectly 
logical place and I keep my THIRD multi meter in my electrical tool box. I 
bought the tool box at a yard sale just to put the electrical stuff in.

And yes I tried looking for something else . . . to no avail.<sigh>
