    It's new to me, but I'm thinking wide belt sander.

    Domino is clearly up there.
    - After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off

    Having someone else mow my lawn, getting my house cleaned once a month, and therapy.

    Would like to hire a business coach soon too.

    Oh, and what is the cost of a personal cook and grocery shopper??

    Not losing your main set of keys is easy. Always in your pocket and when the pants go in the laundry basket they go ONE place. I did lose my keys once 30 years ago when I got out of the car and grabbed something to throw away at the same time. You can guess where I finally found them....

    metric isn't a bad idea, but finding tools is challenging. I thought about this to make a regulation kubb set.

    It is literally crazy. I can remember where everything in my shop is,my tool trailer etc. But my keys...arggghh. I have 5 sets made up and my own key tray,will go for two three years and then suddenly lose 2-3 sets and I mean GONE. I look everywhere and never find them again. I once found a set about 8 years after they disappeared when we dug up a bunch of dirt around where my dog was tied up.Cary thanks for that link, I know what I am going to ask for for Christmas.

    I visited my parents a few years ago and drove my mom's car to get gas for her. They always leave the keys in the ignition. I always keep my keys in my pocket, so when I got back to their house I pulled the keys and started to put them in my pocket, then realized that this wasn't my car and dropped them in the cup holder.

    My mom told me later that she spent 10 minutes looking for the keys because they weren't in the ignition.
