Outstandingly amazing rare happening...
A neighbor had his kubota tractor in my the back of my property, He was going to use it as a makeshift skidder to drag some trees downed in the last wind/ice storm. Told him he could have 'em for firewood since my wood shed is full & I only use the wood stove during power outages.
So, what's amazing and rare? The Kubota's battery died. Needed a 10mm deep socket to remove the battery bracket. Amazing! There actually was a 10mm 1/4" drive deep socket hidden away in my rollaway!

Your planets must have been all lined up for it to be a 10mm hiding in there.

I ride my bicycle 20 miles per ride, three days a week. After thirty years I have a shoe box full of one off tools found in the gutter. Like a magpie, I'm a sucker for shiny things that need to be cleaned and find a home. I have an assortment of about 6-8 10mm sockets and about 3-4 10mm wrenches.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha. |

It sometimes seems that I spend more time looking for my tools, or the parts I took off than I do on the actual repair. I sometimes figure the crew of the Enterprise are overhead and using the transporter to mess with me. There is just no way I would have laid down the once socket I just used in some of the places I find them.

My tools get together deep in the night and strategize their hooliganism for the next day. I did install a night vision trail cam to catch them in the act.
Of course, they somehow recruited the cam and my mission was a failure. Anybody got any suggestions for what to do next? |

That video could be me when I work on cars.
 And it ain't just the 10mm.  Ha!
