I lost a very tiny screw today.  I knew where I put it and it just wasn't there anymore.

Dropped bolts and screws get teleported to the same place lost socks go. Plus, have you ever seen the infamous one shoe laying on the side of the road? It's mate went to the same place as the other stuff.  :o

Or possibly here...  I can say that there were no Great Danes on the premises but there were plenty of cats.

Drop any small object while in the engine room on board a tug or ship and it absolutely without fail fall straight through the closest gap or hole in our deck plating system and down into the bilges.... Multi-Tools & Flashlights are my favorite things to drop into the 9-foot deep bilges in my engine room.....

Dropped bolts and tools roll to the exact geographic center underneath the vehicle if they don't land in the spot where light or vision is impossible and the space is exactly one half the dimension of your hand or finger.

Or exactly 1 inch farther away than the length you can reach, even with any easily accessible tool...

What I find worse is the stuff I drop that does NOT hit the floor at all. Then I have to wonder for days, weeks or longer..... is it sitting in the fairing or the bottom of the fan shroud?

Bit of a change here.  What drives me crazy?  The fact that I'm 64, spent 46 successful years working , and now cannot get a single person/company  to hire me for any level of work.   Seems I have nothing to offer anymore.  Not whining, actually kinda pi$$ed that The Pendulum swung from one side to the other in no time at all, but getting it to swing back is taking so much longer.   FWIW, I came from a small industry, and someone an my last company has been doing/saying some illegal things, to keep me from returning, to compete with them.  Impossible to prove, but true none the less.  OK, rant over... tomp

Oh yeah, I hate the dropped calls that happen to regularly on my cell phone...   tp

Unrelated....Pabst Blue Ribbon sold to the Russkies!  :yikes:   How can that happen?  I thought there were sanctions going on?  Evidently not on 'beer'?

This just in.....Saturday morning cartoons are essentially non-existent and I'm bloody pissed about it.  I decided it's been long enough (45years +) and I got my morning coffee, sat down, and turned on the TV looking for Saturday cartoons on the traditional network channels....not there  >:( .  All sorts of other crap but no cartoon.  No Warner Brothers, no Space Ghost, no Scooby, no nothing!

Breakfast of Champions or it used to be.  Not everyone has access to the good stuff.

I'm aware of the cartoon network, I have grandchildren living with me.  It's not the same, unfortunately.  Many of the WB (Bugs Bunny) stuff has been censored or edited either for content or length.

youtube still carries the violent cartoons we grew up with, and they serve it up 4 hours at a time and have millions of hits.
