I run a web based inventory system for all my parts and keep them
in numbered boxes. A little OCD, but easy to find it when I need
it. It's an open source app called PartKeeper.<br>

<br>
My father passed away in March and Mom, 93, has been living
with us since then. Their house is only a couple of blocks away
and I go by and check on it from time to time, pick up things
she needs, water the plants and so on. <br>
<br>
So today I went by and was looking for some 20 pin dip sockets.
Dad was a Ham, since the 1940s (WK5K) and I found a closet in
his radio room full of parts, all carefully organized and
labeled in matching shoe boxes. I took a picture: <br>

Lots of electronic parts and hardware. A whole box of metal
standoffs, another of nylon standoffs, lots of caps and
resistors, a separate box of 1%. And a box of DIP sockets,
including 20 pins. My own personal Tanners! <br>
<br>
I of course have a lot of parts myself gathered over the years,
but not well organized. So finding a particular part really
means going through everything. Which I do, and have done,
repeatedly. I probably even have some 20 pin DIPS somewhere.
Same thing with our storage shed. It's just always been easier
to run down to the hardware store than to dig through the shed.
<br>
<br>
So, any of this sound familiar? Or is it just me... :) <br>
<br>
cheers, <br>
