I refer to it as OFS (Old F**T's Syndrome.) Actually, I always figured I had one of those Black Holes around my table, the type the astronomers are always looking for way out in space. Heck, if they would just turn around they would find one, unless it was misplaced.

Put in a safe place never to be seen again until you get a replacement. I won't say how many times it happens to me!

Yup, I lost a pair of sunglasses once and searched all over for them, several times. They turned up when the wife asked if they looked like the ones on my head.
Thanks guys, it sounds like we should get together an act and go on the road with it.

Couldn't find my reading glasses for the longest time. Finally found them in the freezer in the garage! Duh!
Tools and materials have an uncanny ability to hide in plain sight. Tore my bench apart the other day looking for a spool of thread that was in the bobbin sitting right by my vise.

I think I resemble that phrase.

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.
