A funny thing happened today.

It's kinda strange. Two days ago I just put brand new batteries in my cheap a$$ plastic flashlight at work. I was working on a vehicle and dropped it in the bilge which was full of a mixture of oil and water and diesel fuel and hydraulic oil and coolant and probably a bunch of other stuff we don't want to talk about. I was able to spot my flashlight and fish it out. It took about a 1/2 hour to get it cleaned up and working again. By this time I was in a real bad mood. I completed my job and moved on to the next vehicle. I almost lose my stupid flashlight again but was able to catch it in time. I go on to the next vehicle and while I was getting into it, WHAM! there goes my damn flashlight down into the f#ckin bilge. Now I'm REALLY mad because this time it must have went into the twilight zone. I can't find the damn thing. As the day goes by I calm down and finally I'm over it. Here it is two days later and I'm working on a different vehicle. I remove some deck plates so I can get at some hydraulic valves that need to be repaired and what do I find? Some young jarhead had to be a whole lot more madder than I was because he lost a real nice camo mini Maglight. His loss is my gain. :dance: I got me a nicer flashlight again. I just figure the moral of all this is:

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away!

haha, that's funny. The same kinda goes for us technicians at our work. Except we lose tools like $30-40 (each) SnapOn impact swivels sockets and sh*t. THEN...when we find tools under a hood it a damn China screw driver or socket...woopidity dooooo!

Moral of my story....uh...spend ALOT of money on tools and get garbage in return when you can't find your own tools on the car you are working on.

But, I chopped wood today. And I'm Chick.

Back on topic: ALWAYS remember it is hiding in plain sight. Damn! I hate it when that happens.
