Skeet is right. I am pretty anal. My father in-law asked my wife if it was okay for him to get a screwdriver out of my tool cabinet one day, and my wife told him to make sure that he left everything the way he found it. He didn't quite understand what he was talking about until he opened the drawers. Meteric sockets are in one drawer arranged on holders by drive size from smallest to largest, and the standard sockets are the same way in another drawer. Same goes for the box end wrenches. One drawer for metric and one drawer for standard and they are all arranged according to size from smallest to largest. The screwdrivers have their own drawer too. Phillips are lined on the left side and flathead on the right. The largest are in the back of the drawer and the smallest are up front. All the screwdrivers are arranged with the "Craftsman" logo on the top side. After seeing that, my father in-law understood what my wife was talking about. I know where everything I have is located. I hate to have to look for anything for more than 30 seconds. My chokes tubes are in a tackle box with labels in each compartment as to what tubes belong where. My cycling tools have their own roller/chest. Essentially, I know where everything is in my garage and office.

Now, one thing that Skeet does that I do not do, is that he keeps track of how many rounds he fires through his guns. Not me. I just keep on shooting them until they cannot be shot anymore. Haven't had a single gun wear out on me yet to the extent that I had to get rid of it.
