   I blame more people in my mind only to find out it was me all along. Silence is priceless some times.

   Last saturday I was at Lowes and got several items including a carton of pegboard hooks for about $6.

   I got over to where I was working and pulled the other items out of the sack one by one as I was using them. And then realized that the hooks where not in the sack.

   So I have to go home and get some other supplies and stopped by Lowes and they checked and it was not at the checkout stand as I though and they gave me another box.

   So then I went by the house where I was working and the HO was home by now and saw the hooks and asked if I had gotten two boxes. Apparently the box at torn and the first box was laying by the front door and she had found them.

   Then I got Lowes confused again when I went to take them back.

   I bet that did confuse them! You are a strange one in a line of theives trying to rip them off in many different ways. Commendable .

   I mostly work alone...even when I sub trim everyone knows my saw set up is off limits unless ya ask first...each time.

   So my push sticks usually don't walk off.....I usually lose them myself.

   A coupla years back....I got tired of making 2 or 3 a day.....then reverted to my famous sunglass theory.

   Sunglass theory is.....I was doing the same thing with sunglasses. Buy a cheap pair...lose them within a week....buy another cheap pair.

   I added up how much I spent and thought I'd try to see how an expensive pair would work. Bought a pair for around $100...and went on many a vacation with them.....never losing or misplacing them once...'cause I knew how much they cost me!

   Had a revelation at one of the wood working stores. They had some nice moulded plastic push sticks that I before said I'd never waste money on..as I could make my own....this time..I bought 2. Probably around $10 each.

   That was three yrs ago....I still have them!

   Sometimes..the less it cost..the less ya pay attention.

   I still make the job site versions.....but when I'm outta scrap...or running late and just wanna finish up....I know there's one right inside the side doors..and one right inside the back door....or the van.

   Jeff,

   Thats pretty much the same reason why I went out and bought some push sticks.  I would make a push stick and sooner or later it ( often sooner) it would disappear.  It was more or less viewed as a piece of wood, easily replacable.  The store bought ones are bright orange plastic.....definately not just a piece of wood, so far they have hung around for three months.  Thinking of painting the next set of push sticks I make.
