One station at the Webelos Weekend involves launching water-filled soda bottles with bicycle pumps and the devices to do such, I thought, had been lost.  I have a specific area to my attic which stores Scout activity stuff and found it barren.  I asked my father if he would be willing to build more and he looked at me strangely saying “sure, but I don’t think we need to”.  He walked me outside and showed me where they were which was by our retention wall under several inches of dirt, sediment and multi-foot long pieces of ivy.  They had sat for at  most six months but looked like they were under years of growth.  Weird.

I’m cleaning out the blue metal shelves in my room.  The 9 x 8 blue metal monstrosity that’s quite possibly storing 80 lbs of useless crap.  I reach into the slot marked “Duct Tape” and pull out not the silver tape capable of doing anything except sealing ducts, but a Leatherman H503.  It’s a 50 dollar knife.  I’m not sure where I got it from, but more importantly, why have I been using a $4.00 Wilcor knife when I’ve had this specimen of craftsmanship with 8 feet of my head for about 4 years.
