    I've learned working on my sawmill that it's not worth the effort to look for lost nuts, bolts or washers. Search with a magnet always turns up parts you lost months ago, but not the one you lost today. Lol. There isn't a fastener on the whole machine worth that kind of frustration.

    I find too often that dropped tools or fasteners will drop into places I can't get to in the truck's frame & basically just buy another because the only way to get it out of there is to drive it over rough roads, frustrating!

    Another corollary of Murphy's Law.
    Micah 6:8
    He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

    Kinda like when the micro wave stops,
    the handle on the coffee cup is always to the rear.

    Cup needs about 4 handles Eh.

    I figured out that my microwave/convection oven's turntable rotates once every 10 seconds so I just give things nukage in multiples of 10 seconds to fix that; The rotation direction is random, due to the motor they used, but that's a Don't Care as we call it

    Murphy was an optimist.

    loved them ever since (do see a bit of "oil for the lamps of China" because of the need for separate adapter for each die but small cost when I figure in convenience of them--this is a hobby and I want to enjoy it to max)
