The keys showed up. They were in a fleece pocketwhich had been put on, then returned to the hallway closet in exchange for something a bit heavier.
Congratulations. Maybe you can help me find my dress watch.
Lost the car keys. Now what?

Check your wrist. No, the other one.
Look in the fleece pocket hanging in the hallway closet.
Check the bedroom closet floor under the area you hang your trousers.
Check the pockets of all the suit jackets.
Lsbcal will be along shortly with more helpful hints.

Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I'm sorry but that was a special. I'll be charging in the future.

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS...
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests itself:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.
But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left...
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold...
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye - they need water.
I put the Coke on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of
Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail...
Do me a favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.
Don't laugh - if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

I looked for a high-5 smiley but could not find one.
Congrats Michael

I’m happy that the keys were located. I’d like to encourage others that they don’t need to spend a fortune to replace these “chipped” car keys. I’ve made up keys for my Mazda Miata, Lexus and my Jeep Wrangler. As others have stated, order a suitable blank from Amazon (or elsewhere, anyplace that’s the easiest).
Google your car for how to program the key. Follow the directions carefully. For a few cars the procedure is like rubbing your tummy, while standing on one foot and humming a tune. I print out the instructions and have them in front of me when I do the operation. It may take several tries (some are less complex to do than others).
Best of luck all!

Do keep in mind that you often need at least two working keys to get the process to function. Perhaps you ought to make up a couple of spares right now, while you don't need any!
