Random Ramblings or an Epiphany?

That’s a good plan Bob, but at my ascending age and descending skills, I’m thinking about getting a pet monkey to take care of any future repairs.

@bob-jackman I've lost so many tiny parts in carpet.  You would think I'd learn better. 

@whodeytink Mark, before we moved into this house, I had the same problem. The solution my wife offered was to put one her nylons over the vacuum hose which caught the parts. The trick is to keep the vacuum going so you could pick the parts off of the nylon. I don't know if women even wear nylons anymore as this was several years ago.

That’s all good advice and I certainly appreciate all of your input, problem is, no one can learn me nothin’. Fact is, I was carrying the model from upstairs down to the basement I put it into the display cabinet and noticed the light was gone. I knew it was there when I started out so I figured I knocked it off with my oversized thumb. (Wasn’t the first time I mangled a model.) That’s why I keep a plentiful supply of Gorilla Glue.   It was a minor miracle that I eventually spotted the minuscule piece!

@bob-jackman You know, I did exactly that once and actually found the part!!

@whodeytink KISMET!
