Tuesday, September 11 - Car keys

I never recall misplacing -and certainly not losing- my car keys in my life.  I have a specific bin for them by my front door and always return them to it.  This morning, I went looking for the duplicate set and they were not where they were supposed to be.  I have spent the last four hours looking for them, even unpacking all of the boxes I have packed for the trip.  I cannot take the trip without the duplicate set of keys considering where I was planning to go, even though I have never misplaced them on any trip.  It is too late to order a new ignition set. I will continue to look for them for the rest of the day.  If they cannot be located by the end of the day, there will be no trip this year.

 

Later....I called my mechanic and he said he thinks he can order the blank for the special key and have it made up by Friday. 

 

In the meantime, I am discovering missing other things I know I should have.  When this happens in the last few days, I just run out and buy a new one to save time. There is only one explanation for their being missing. I had to run out today and buy a new bolt cutter, battery jumper and fire extinguisher.
