Don't beat yourself up so bad I bet most every one has made a dumb ass move or they just don't work on things. The guys in the motor pool had me looking for a bulb stretcher when I first started and I was determined to find it. Never saw one before and wanted to know how it worked. Never did find it. But I did find the muffler bearing.

Did you find the blinker fluid?

Actually BMW cars have muffler bearings...true story.

When I moved to TN and got my first job they had me calling around to local farmers asking for a "stump-broke calf". That's even worse than snipe hunting...

Actually, a snipe is real bird. It's related to a quail, but lives in marshes. Much like a Rail. Your an awfully good sport to put up with the razzing. Lots of respect for you. And Airborne is right, we all miss stuff, it's what makes all this fun.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
