Man, I'm about to lose my mind... or what's left of it.

A few weeks ago I pulled the trigger on an EMG Geezer with wiring harness for my trusty old 80s MIJ P bass. I finally caved to all the good reviews around here. The TBer I bought it from shipped it promptly, packed it well, and sold me what he said he sold me. (Great transaction)

I received the box right before heading to the coast for a week. I was super excited to install it the other night but.... I can't FIND the thing! :banghead:

I had it. I remember sticking it in a cabinet kind of between our kitchen and breakfast nook. Part of me vaguely remembers maybe taking it to work with me on that Friday before we left so I could Google install tips on my lunch break.

My office stays locked. Nobody ever comes in my building anyway. I'm not worried about it being stolen.

I just misplaced the stupid thing!!!! I have turned my house upside down.... especially my jam room. I checked the office Friday and it didn't turn up.

*sigh*

Just venting. I'll update when I discover where, in a moment of dipstickery, I left it. :wacky:

It's always in the last place you look...cause if you keep looking after that you've really gone crazy :wacky:

I've done that so many times it's not even funny. Hopefully you're not like me where you wake up in the middle of the night going 'Ah Hah!' and then can't sleep till you get up and go look :sleep:

If it was at my house and was missing, I would know who to ask where she put it.

Then she would look me straight in the eye and say, “I never saw it.”

That’s the same answer that she has been giving me for almost 18 years.

When whatever is missing is found, 99% of the time it is where she put it even though she never saw it.

The other 1% it is because you put it where you shouldn’t have, which is exactly where you expected to find it later on.

I just found my tone knob in my drummer's garage. I was frantic for a good while bro.
