When it comes to putting something down and losing it in the next 5 seconds, I am the Harry Houdidi of that particular skill. I'm fairly bad at the tying bench, but since it's a relatively small area, I can usually find it in about a minute or so. When I'm working in my shop however, that's another matter. I truly believe that there are many times that a task takes me literally twice as long as it should, simply because I spend do much time looking for a tool or pencil that I just laid down somewhere. I'd like to blame this on my getting a bit older, but it is a natural talent (probably genetic) I have had my entire life.
