    I can relate only too well. LOML got a chuckle and a knowing look when she read it.

      That's me. I have to make a list in order to know what I started out to do. It's usually the coffee cup I left in the microwave and spent half a day looking for it.

          The weight is off. He would do better with wrapping the tape around one of the blades to bring it back into alignment.

            I think the original post was referring to Sunday's comic, which was even more appropriate for us woodworkers. Here's the archive link:

                Oh, yeah. Been there many a time. Around here the start of a new project is preceded by the, "I wonder how many trips this one's going to take," comment.

                  I can relate to both comics. That ceiling fan was me 2 days ago at my
                  parent's new house. I ended up shimming the gap between the fan and the
                  ceiling with a folded piece of paper. Ah...sleep.

                    My wife says that whenever I give her a time estimate for a project, she multiplies that by 3 and that's the minimum number of trips to the store I'll make. Twice the trip number is how long it will really take.
