Where is my lost stuff?

[kg2v]

Heh, I was moving to the new house in early December, I get here, no keys - entire keyring is gone. Had it the night before. Search, no keys. Search the places I stopped along the way, no keys. Sigh, replace everything

So, post move, I FINIALLY join a new Gym a week ago - go to the gym. There they are, in my gym bag. Sigh

They were on the rear fender of your tractor. When you moved it they fell off and you ran them over into the ground.

And the verdict is. It was the last place I looked. Also, they were in a zipped up compartment of my suitcase.

I have no idea why, but that's the answer.

Of COURSE they were “in the last place you looked.” …. when you FOUND them…you QUIT LOOKING!

I lost my virginity so long ago, I don't care anymore. If you find it, give it to someone who needs it more than I do.

My fool proof method of finding small items.
Pick up another small item, one that is expensive, important, unique and hard to get. With it in your hand, close your eyes and throw it. When silence returns, the item you just threw will be right next to the item you lost. If you have poor eyesight, keep repeating this expert process until a pile is created. Everything you lost will be right there!

Hahaha....

So true story.....

When I was working on EA-6B's we had a Private lose a screw in the cockpit. (Big NO! NO!)

So he reports it to the QA officer, and a FOD report is issued (no one in the entire squadron goes home without finding this screw....no matter what.)

Well I walk out there with my tool box to start tearing the cockpit apart, and there is Private Dumbass dropping screws in the cockpit to see where they go!!!!!!!

They had to physically restrain me from kicking that kids ass.

Everything you "lose" just gets transported to another universe, where it sits until you buy replacements. Then, through some yet unknown element of quantum physics, it mysteriously comes back.

Just wondering if anyone has any great ideas where my stuff may be? Right now, I'm missing a 1/2 x 28 to 5/8 to 24 thread adapter and a set of keys.

I just thought I'd throw it out there and ask since I can't find them.

This is how I now own two sets of ball joint separator tools. Magic.

So true - - I could probably make a (short) list of duplicates due to this phenomenon....

"Private" ????
The EA-6B was a USN only aircraft.
What was a (Marine?) "Private" doing in an EA-6B ????????

Didn't know that the MC ever had any "Q" birds, but I can clearly see the pod.
Thinking the top one pictured here must have been USN though.

No Sir. We (the Marines) had 18 EA-6B's

I was with VMAQ-2 "Playboys". When I was in, the squadron was divided into 3 detachments (6 planes each) that would rotate deployment cycles.

After I got out they were divided into 4 separate squadrons and the 'Playboys' had to change their name/logo because it was "sexist"......

All the EA-6B's have been retired now though.

This was in Bahrain circa 1991-92 (man, I was good looking)

I cant believe that plane made it back after being hit by a SAM, but it did.

I believe it correct that the Marines were the first …and the last…Operators of the EA-6B.
