What evil fearie is stealing my hardware? This is three times in the last five days that I took something apart, and when I went to reassemble it, one piece of hardware was missing. I seldom left the areas in which I was working. I looked everywhere. On the floor. Underneath nearby equipment or furniture. In my pockets. In other pieces of equipment. I don't get it. I always start out well. When I start disassembling, I set the screws and nuts somewhere carefully. Then at the end when I start having trouble, I lose track of things. But still... how far could they have gone?

LMAO @ fucknuts...

my friends in England all say that...I have never heard it before...;)

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

I hear that one now and then. It seemed liek the thing to say, since I was wandering around the lab saying, "Where's the fucking nut?"

Sal and I saw "for fucks sake" a lot too...Ö

You lost a screw at my house too!

Uh-oh...that doesn't sound right, does it...

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

You should look in your trouser turns-ups if you have them.
And next time, stick everything down with Blu-Tak.

:: thinks - do they have Blu-Tak there? ::

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

No, what's Blu-Tak?

And I don't have cuffed pants, but I'll keep that in mind.

Surely they sell Blu-Tak in the US - must be under some other name. It's blue, and it's slightly sticky, hence the name. Commonly used to stick posters to walls. Consistency is a bit like chewing gum, but not so sticky. Here's a the only picture I found (the flat packets on the right):

Oops, forgot to answer

Yeah, they have stuff liek that here. The problem is, I just forget to be careful about where they go. They stay where I put them. I lose the ones that I forget to put. Blu-Tack or no.

That'll be the Borrowers, then.

Oops!
