Warning: My garage cleanup got a full aircraft logbook treatment
I tried to tidy up my garage and accidentally used the same system we have for tracking parts on planes. Now everything has a tag and a history sheet, even my old bike. My neighbor asked to borrow a wrench and I made him sign it out like a tool from the shop. He laughed but called me nuts, which is fair.

Honestly, that's the only way to do it. Next you'll be tracking hours on your light bulbs and doing a full inspection on your coffee mug before use. I bet you have a service bulletin out for your lawnmower blade. Just wait until you need a form in triplicate to get a soda from the fridge.

My wife found my "toothbrush replacement matrix" last year. It had columns for bristle stiffness and a sad little graph tracking "brush head splay." @hollyr28, your husband staring at the spreadsheet is the universal look of someone who just realized they live with a systems analyst.

I mean, that part about the light bulbs got me. I totally did something similar after a long week at work. I started logging how many times I used my kitchen scissors and made a note to 'retire' them after what I decided was too many cuts on cardboard. It made sense to me but my husband just stared at the spreadsheet. You get in a mode and it just leaks into everything at home.
