This reloading operation is getting frustrating

[KansasSasquatch]

If I keep everything nice and organized then I can never find anything. I always forget what room/bin/drawer/box/closet that I put it in. But if I keep things a little messy I know right where I left "it."

Ages ago I had a brass lens cap fall out of my gun case,looked everywhere it just disappeared into a black hole. Called the manufacturer of the scope got a replacement. About a year later I grabbed a jacket to wear that was near the case at the time put my hand in the pocket and what do I find the lens cap that I tore the room apart trying to find.

Now GS, if you lived by the principal of "a pile for everything and everything in it's pile" as I do, you would know where everything is, but no one else would have the vaguest idea of where to find anything!

Somebody's been peeking in my windows and took notes on my organization method...mine is actually pretty good, but only if you know my slightly ocd system. For a year now I have been buying Buddig value packs of lunchmeat...decent meat for a cheap price and it has a nice stackable, squared off reusable plastic box. I now have a box for each caliber I reload. In the box are all the caliber specific tools. Stacked in the same order as the boxes on the next shelf down so when I find my .270 win dies 3rd from top on middle row, I know where to find my brass, then my bullets. The bottom of the bench has become a nightmarish pile of plastic ammo box inserts, mtm boxes, and a bucket or six of brass in my more commonly shot calibers. But yes, a pile for everything and everything in its pile...in the right spot in the pile...with labels facing forward...stacked in corresponding location.

Have done that twice looking for motorcycle keys. I now have a set of keys for everything I own in a safe deposit box at the bank.

I can relate to that Highlander5, every single hunting season I find myself ripping my hunting gear room apart looking for one or two items that I can't find. This happens every year, and I can't remember a time when the items I was looking for didn't show up when I started unpacking in camp, usually to be found in one of my gear bags, or in a coat pocket.

Last year was hilarious. I started packing about two weeks before the hunt, and when I was packing my optics and tripods, I couldn't find my tripod adapter's any where. So I ran down to my local Sportsmen Warehouse and bought 3 of them. When I got to camp, I pulled all my optics out to get things set up for the morning glassing, and there's my adapter's, they were already mounted to the optics. Here's my sign!

I guess I am just different. I always hated it when I would go to the grocery store and they changed up their isles, enough so I quit going to one that always did it.

If I know what I am after I don't want to have to search for it.

I agree.

Our favorite grocery is starting a major re-do to make room for wine sales that will begin next year. (Yuk on the re-do, not the wine sales.)

Of course, they change the aisles so that you have to hunt for stuff and then impulse buy.

When I come home from a weekend of car racing, I spend the time cleaning, organizing, re-supplying, and storing the support stuff so that it is ready for loading for the next race.

Wish I could be so disciplined in the reloading room.

Considering all the stuff of mine he loses or breaks, he also does some amazing things for me, so I guess I shouldn't complain to much.

My oldest is like that. You pretty much know when he borrows something that even if you do get it back, it won't be in the condition it left in. But at least he always asks first. I would not tolerate him him picking locks and taking things.

Don't feel bad I "lost" a gun yesterday. I looked in my paper and computer records, torn the safe apart as I wanted to sell it, Well seems like I already did! and searched my records again and sure enough right in front of my nose.!

Appears I have lost my mind and have a case of CRS!

In the overall scheme of "Life" a lost LEE trimming thingy is not a major issue.

Amen!
