I definatly know about STML. I sometimes misplace a tool and end up looking high and low for it, only to find said tool twenty min’s later, right in front of me. And i notice your in West Des Moines, I suspect you frequent Great Hobby Adventure’s on E.P True Pkwy. I’m in Des Moines also.
OMG, I do that all the time. Looking for my keys, when they’re already in my pocket, looking for my sunglasses, when they’re hanging from the neck of my shirt, looking for my spru snipper, when it’s right there in the middle of my cutting board. [:O]
Thank god for my wife, she has an uncanny knack for knowing exactly where all my stuff is, and frequently lets me off the hook. [(-D]
I’m not so sure that has anything to do with STML…I believe it’s more Industrial Blindness…I suffer from it all the time…looking for the scriber, look to the left, look to the right, up, down and all around…for 5 straight minutes I look…then I find it…right in the middle if my workbench, in plain sight, with nothing within 10 inches of it or hiding it from view…frustrating.
I hate that…
