After 45-minute drive to hardware store, Tom Martin forgets what he went there for.

Tool Rite Hardware is a bit of a hike from Tom's Pondering Lake cabin, but he doesn't mind the 45-minute drive at all. "Gives me a chance to indulge in a little classic rock on the radio, and just clear my head a bit," says Tom. Unfortunately, when he arrived at the store, he had cleared his head of exactly what he went there for. Unable to recall what he needed, Tom just bought "a whole bunch of stuff I probably already have, but maybe something in there will be helpful."

Shoulda wrote it down.
