I’ve had moments like that and it’s very frustrating but one time it wasn’t my fault. I was changing oil in my first Corvette out in my driveway. That was long before I built my shop. I was under the car and had drained the oil out and was feeling around for the box that the oil filter was in and I could not feel the box anywhere. I went in the house three different times and looked in my utility room and other parts of the house, thinking that I had not taken the oil filter out to the car. I was asking family members if they had seen it. Finally, I remembered that the Neighbor’s dog had a very bad habit of picking up loose items (gloves, boots) on our porches and even in our yard and taking them to her yard. Sure enough, as I approached the neighbor’s backyard, I could see the oil filter box. Fortunately, the oil filter was still inside.

😂😂😂 I'm sort of scared that if I order another one as soon as I do that, the missing one will show up. Story of an ADHD person's life 😂
