Ever loose a Nut or Bolt while working on your car?

Yes, I presume they (the bolts and nuts) went to look for the missing 10mm socket

Very rarely. But I have lost sockets and a few bits down black holes behind the engine and dead space around the headlights. I recently watched a hex bit fall from my pouch right behind a headlight. Ting...ting...silence. Nothing out the bottom and not worth the time to disassemble the pos to find it.

Curious, but how do you produce your art? It looks digital, are you drawing on an ipad, or a digitizer on a computer? Or on paper and then transfering to computer? Super fun stuff.

My sister is quite a good artist but essentially has given it up due to not really being able to get anywhere with it. It's sort of sad but its extremely hard to pay the bills.

I do everything with Pen and Paper, then Scan it and Download it to my IPad Pro.
After that I digitally color everything.
It’s been fun finally doing something with my Art… of course it would be even better making money with it!
I hate hearing people who gave up… but I get it!

Before I retired, building V-22 Osprey, ANY loss was immediate cause for ENTIRE hanger to shut down, until that nut, bolt, washer was found, ZERO FOD tolerance.
Once a buddy I was working with dropped a plain , small flat washer in the torque box on a V-22.
EVERYTHING shut down while we searched.
My buddy was up in the box, crawling around with the scope , while I monitored the screen.
Suddenly, I saw moist, scaly surface, then HAIRS, big, ugly moist hairs.....
He had stuck the scope in his nose and I was enjoying a view of his frontal sinus cavity.
Fun times.

I’ve seen a few of these land and take off from PBIA, so cool to watch.

FOD protocols are extremely important, but can cause you grief! I remember spending an afternoon looking for a 3/8" 10-32 self locking nut that dropped into the display rack in the flight deck of a 737. Magnet fishing trip for a long time.

I wish we had nut-grip sockets like the Koken ones. You learn to get by with double stick tape and Super Glue.
