The price of keys.

The other day when I was finishing up Earl's Vulcan I needed some antifreeze, so Earl took the Toolhauler, and went to get a jug. When he got back he set the keys down somewhere in the Toolshed. Now they are lost, a casualty of the black hole that exists in the Toolshed. It has claimed everything from small nuts, bolts, and screws to complete motorcycles. Good thing though is that I had given him the spare set, so I went to get another spare set made. What a surprise to find out that the cost of a key is now $3.99. And I needed two. Oh and a keyring. I remember when you could get two keys made for a $1.00. And they gave you a keyring.

Be thankfull that it wasn't a newer key. Had a spare made for my 98 Lumina and it cost $85.00 because of the computer chip.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

And people call me paranoid, because I'm always making sure my keys are on the Budweiser carabiner on the right middle belt loop of my jeans.

I don't lose them that often, but when we do, we refer to it as "Keysheimer's disease".

This is why my workbench has a magnetic tray on each side. Removed nuts and bolts go in one, tools and keys in the other. They're always there when I get back. :)
