Dam I thought India was bad for spam calls now iam getting spam calls to refill my easy pass toll card and guess where the calls are coming from Canada lol
I’ve been getting a bunch from North Carolina wanting me to pay to receive “USPS mail” that they’re “holding for me”
 
Went on the hunt for 12 8mm nuts with flanges for the side steps. Emptied 3 small bins of odd hardware. Sorted it out. Lits went in the scrap bin. Think i found a latch for the s10 airbox. Where it came from is a mystery. Did find the hardware i needed.
I have at least a 1/2 gallon of assorted nuts i need to size and put in the right place.
That must hurt,

post pictures of how you store them. coffee cans used to be my go to, but nobody drinks coffee and the ones I have are filled up. next, was kitty litter buckets...well, three of them are filled. when the new manager came in at work, he wanted all hardware and parts tossed because it's a liability if we fix something. soo, extra hardware from the mezane building came home. if the shed was attached to the garage, I could make that the hardware room. I used to have glass containers till butterfingers dropped one. no fun cleaning glass off the floor and getting if out from the nuts and bolts. filing cabinets are nice, take up lots of room and too many levels of containers in them. so, long way around to a short question: how do you all store/label nuts/bolts/washer/misc. hardware? Thanks!

One bolt bin on wal, for sae nc/nf nuts,flat washers and lock washers.
And another 4’x8’ cabinet with 70 ish pigeon holes. It has all my hardware in it. Then a horizontal filing cabinet with bin boxes and coffee cans. I have lots. 30 years of not putting all the bolts back makes for a lot of free hardware :lol:
 
Had a great visit the last 2 days with my son and his wife. Looks like I'm spending Christmas alone this year. All the family are going to in laws this year and that's ok.
I might be heading to Missouri next weekend to see my son and grandkids for a couple days.
Be nice being in some warmer weather for a few days.
