Spring Cleaning
May. 7th, 2006 10:20 amI love spring. I love getting my energy back and feeling driven to get things done, even if they're not very big things.
( Lots o' boring stuff about tools and shelving )
I am baffled by one thing: where do all those Allen wrenches come from? I sorted through over 200 of them yesterday. 22 I bought for myself - a metric and a standard set. I could believe that I inherited maybe 30 from Sean. I have certainly acquired plenty with my "some assembly required" furniture and bike accessories - maybe 40 at the outside. So that's almost 100 of them - what about the other hundred? Has steel taken up sexual reproduction? Spontaneous generation? Do all of those lost ballpoint pens metamorphose into Allen wrenches (the barrel shape *is* suggestive)?
