Spent 45 minutes trying to find a missing pin on a boom section yesterday

I was setting up a Grove RT550 at a job site off I-35 and couldn't get the third boom section pinned. Turns out the pin was sitting in the toolbox, not in the storage slot where I always keep it. Has anyone else wasted half a shift hunting for something that was right under your nose?

Man, I used to blame the job site for losing stuff, but now I realize it's usually me.

You ever try the "one pocket rule"? Helped me a ton. Pick one pocket for your phone, one for your wallet. No exceptions. Stuff stops going missing when you're not searching three different spots.
