I had thousands and thousands of them when I "retired." I was careless
with them often seemingly misplacing whole bags. Now as I need to do
some small repair or another and I have to go back to the stock shelf
where only a few bags remain I realize someday I am going to run out of
them.

BONUS DAY! You know that lonely B wire connector I found on my desk
yesterday. Well today I decided to clean off the secretary board on one
side and found a bag with 25 of them! I'm definitely walking that over
to the appropriate parts bin when I shut down the shop in a few minutes.

Of course I have fewer of other things. Low current trigger relays,
Altronix power supply boards, etc.

Today I had to replace a solenoid valve that turns air on and off to an
air seal in a machine spindle. The solenoid took out the Altronix power
supply board I was using to hold it open. That's when I went to the box
of Super Bs and grabbed a couple loose ones.

As I look across my desk I see what appears to be an unused Super B
sitting amongst the pile of casting samples. I will carefully pluck it
out, and carry it to the box with the rest remaining as I shut down the
shop and head in for the night.

Oh, yeah. The other thing is electrical tape. It was disposable back
in the day. I bought 20 or more rolls at a time, and there were always
two or three rolls hanging off my tool bag. Now, I watch the stock on
pegs back by the air compressor slowly dwindle.
