Why me?

[daredevil]

Had to come inside and sit down at the puter to chill a while. Putting the motor for my wide glide back together after 3 years it being apart. New bearings, one cylinder and new pistons and reworked heads. Got the jugs on and installing the heads and cant find one damn head bolt. Searched for 3 hours. Had to come in before i break or set fire to something. There,now I feel better.

Did that **** once looking for a screwdriver I just had in my hand. Spent an hour looking for that bitch and finally found it in the fridge. Right next to the beer.

Damned if I know how it got there.

If that's all your problem is, consider yourself blessed.

 

[Meep-Meep]

I don't know how many laps I made around my shop today looking for my cordless drill! Finally a buddy came by and found it.

 

[daredevil]

The shop in town had a spare. Whew, load off my mind but now gotta find the time again.

 

[RustyRatRod]

Is the head bolt small enough to fit inside the cylinder?

 

[daredevil]

No I,m not pulling a moron snafu. Its probably 3 inches long and built like a mag wheel lugnut. The shank countersinks in the head and it has a flat washer shaped contact pad and a 12 point head.my dog probably stole it lol

Funny, my first thought went to the crank case, damn we're evil.

But seriously, I found out today that a local pregnant woman in my town was hit by a car the other day and lost her baby and is now in a wheelchair (not sure if it's permanent) That is a "why me!!" not losing a head bolt. That's barely a hiccup.

The old "my dog ate it" lol

Well just check the dog stuff and you'll know. I had one eat roofing nails once....a whole 2 pound bag. He ate bag and ALL. I took him to the vet and he said "don't worry about it, he'll be fine". The next day he was crappin nails all over the back yard. Not the first drop of blood. I couldn't believe it. I swear they can eat anything.

I'm glad my shop is only 1500 sq ft sometimes.....it swallows stuff! Lost a set of screws for one of my trail bikes and ended up going to the local bike salvage yard for some more then found the ones I took off. I had put them in my 1/4" drive socket box for safe keeping! I have two 1/4 drive sets and used the newer one to put it back together and never opened the old one until I let someone else use it and opened it to make sure everything was complete.

Good to see it wasn't anything big, just chill & count to 10, now I count to 100...LOL... I always say to myself relax you'll find it, I'm so damn **** about my parts, nuts & bolts & stuff now, bagging & tagging or labeling everything, specific shelf for car stuff etc...LOL... when I was younger, I use to have stuff evaporate all the time, I swear that stuff just grew legs & walked out of the damn garage, probably my brothers Tim or Mark or step father Bob screwing with me, now my problem is forgetting where the hell I put them...LOL... I think I have sometimmers/mostimmers or maybe just stupid...
