...when you walk through the bathroom and for a split second you mistake a roll of toilet paper (with about 1/3 left on it) for a surfmaster 200 (with some clean white mono).  With all due respect for the surfmaster, of course.  But, It really happened.  Care to add a good one?

Or you're standing at a urinal with a bit of corrosion on the flush valve thinking, " bet 1:1 vinegar would clean that right up" LOL

You know you've been thinking about reels too much....when you spend half a morning trying to track down the history of an unnamed Japanese spincaster, probably 50+ yrs.old, that you probably will never use anyway.

It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Your working on a rare reel and you have to go somewhere for awhile. Your wife decides your in the way so she moves your work but just throws everthing in a drawer and she makes a mess of your work.

:D...Winner!
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Not that uncommon.

I was at a museum in St. Louis in August looking at ancient artifacts and I could tell the metals from the color of the corrosion, and could tell the patina from the corrosion. Some of those artifacts would've benefited from a vinegar soak....

when you won't move to a different house, because the old one still has too many unrecovered parts

 I know that vacuum cringe! Spend way to much time looking for a lost spring/screw . And have a replacement.
