After everything we've been through,throwing a ton of stuff away and completely cleaning and sterilizing the basement Jane shows me this little washer in her hand and says to me "Is this the little fishing thingy from your reel that you had a complete fit over 3 years ago?"
It was.

I don't know exactly why this reminded me, but a couple of years ago I was on my back deck upgrading some hooks on some plugs. I had a set of diagonals and was cutting the old trebles off and replacing with some VMC's and split rings. I cut one hook off and it sailed off the deck into the back yard. I spent two hours looking for it out of fear that one of the kids (barefoot) or the dog (she's always barefoot) would find it in a painful way. Eventually, I asked my daughter to help me look for it and she found it in about 30 seconds. I think women just have better eye acuity than men...especially us old guys.
