When you find a $200 box of magnets you forgot you had, and don't really know what you wanted them for.

When you see an air-compressor in the local dump and immediately think 'tank=batch water heater; motor=zubbly conversion. And no, this has NEVER happened to me. Absolutely. Positively. Really.

When you put two N50 4" diameter neo magnets in your back pockets to keep them separated and remember their back there just after you sat down on a metal bench...

When you go shopping and all you see is wind generator parts... I find myself doing this all the time - things already made to use as something else other than what their made for...

That could be painful and embarrassing at the emergency room ! I'll have to remember that one.

You see, I always think -- oooh, free air compressor. Now where did I put that spare motor and regulator?
