In that case I can't say I blame you. Tear em apart!
I know the feeling all too well and the older I get, the more often I drop things. How much time did you spend on your hands and knees searching? At least you found it.I dropped a screw. I was working on a laptop but that's not the point of what I was doing in my garage - finding the screw I dropped was the challenging part. I'm not the best at math - I know about gravity and I know about mass but I can't really do any calculations on the distance one would expect something with a given mass would travel when dropped. It's a moot point though - we all know that dropped fasteners always defy the laws of physics. I finally found this a little over four feet away from where it was dropped. Not thrown, no springs were involved, just dropped straight down. Actually it should have landed in the chair I was sitting in basically between my legs so I really don't know what happened. It wasn't in the chair - it wasn't on my pants - I searched before I stood up.
Energetic little fellow.
Just be glad you found it!
A sign in every shop should read, "I Might Need Those Some Day". My kids will be cursing that saying when I'm gone, and they get to clean it all up.I think my hand would fall off I tossed them, for sure my wife would faint from the shock
Yesterday, we did a thorough cleaning of our house after discovering bed bugs, which really scared us. We’ve been spraying every corner of the home for the past three days. Unfortunately, we had to throw out our favorite bed—which I absolutely loved—because we were convinced the bugs were nesting in it. Literally this week was tough but now it's Friday! Happy Friday
If you were working on a car I could have told you exactly where that screw went. I’ve done the math, it’s a place I like to call true magnetic north. It’s directly in the center of the car, on top of some heat shield, that you can’t get to without disassembling at least 25% of the car.I dropped a screw.

I hope you have a calendar, a task list, a plan, and the will to execute it. Without them, you'll wind up in front of the tube, dead within 6 months.
Honestly, in about 6 months, you will seriously wonder how you ever had time to work. At least that has been my experience, retired from a high stress, need it done yesterday place 8 years ago, after 42 years. I have never looked back. Plus, you can sit back down and have that 2nd cup of coffee. Good luck.

And incase you’re wondering, this theory of mine has been tested repeatedly, the results were consistent within an infinitesimal amount.

You just have to enjoy them for the humorous thought.
I have something like that in my hardware cabinet, with the addition of some camera lens screwsI keep a little baggie of those microscopic laptop/watch screws in my toolbox "just in case":
Love the two tone, the steelies, and especially the two door!
Yep, I fell for those things too, the wheels are actually coated aluminum but they look really good up close too.
What are you talking about? That's clearly HannaBarbara Family Cradenza Wagon
I respectfully disagree. The math would confirm that a black hole exists for each screw ever manufactured, as well as 10 mm sockets.If you were working on a car I could have told you exactly where that screw went.

I need to get one of those for my band saw! Bought it used, came with no fence, and I kind of rigged something up in the meantime. Its an older Craftsman saw, but I like it and don't do enough wood work to justify something better.
Dammit, I didn’t consider micro black holes. That’s why we call them theories I guess.
