Went out for a mate's 50th a few weeks back.
Only time I've worn my wedding ring in months. Usually it lives in a drawer where I keep my other shit like keys.
Now I can't find the fucking thing. Pretty sure I arrived home with it.
Wasn't even drunk. Just fucking old and having trouble retracing my steps mentally.Update: last week I went to put on a pair of shorts I wore the day after the 50th birthday mentioned above.
Guess what was rattling around in one of the pockets?
A condom?

Don't know varieties that rattle.
I was thinking, metal testicles. -

True (nerd) love!
If Mrs NTA doesn't appreciate this, she's not worthy! -

If Mrs NTA doesn't appreciate this, she's not worthy!Prediction: she'll get sad looking at the photos of her parents and grandparentrs who have passed, happy at some of the early kids shots, and fascinated by the stuff from her grandfather's time in Port Said.
Appreciation for my efforts doesn't really come into it. After all, I "forced" her to go through and sort all that shit out, which just made her upset 😜
Garage is fucking mint tho. Got a squat rack in there and everything now.

Plot twist. It was always there, just not visible.

A meme but probably more relevant to this thread.

AEG Power Tools are discontinuing their 58V garden tools range.
Bah humbug.
(AEG is a rebrand of Milwaukee here in Oz I believe)
I didn't really need 58V but at the time they didn't have a mower in 18V (they do now of course). I've got a few of their 18V power tools which are pretty bloody good.
But the 58V was manlier, anyway.
Mower, trimmer, chainsaw, hedger, and recently an awesomely powerful leaf blower.
Ordered a spare 58V battery from Bunnings to cover me. But if the charger dies, I'm fucked...
Bah humbug!
