oh yeah....


















chit

[Janine]

When I can't find something that I put "where I wouldn't forget it", it's usually in plain sight.

[Hugh Janis]

anything I need to find easily goes in the fridge next to the beer....

Latest update:


Still no pushrods.

(farts)

Looked in every drawer in the toolbox.  Looked under and behind the workbench.  Looked in Parker's toy box (you never know).  Looked in all the empty boxes parts came in.  Looked inside the trailer.  Looked in the storage cabinets.  Looked... well... everwhere.

Scott, I know what you mean man.  I used to be the same way.  No detail seemed to escape attention.  No I need glasses and sometimes lose chit. 

All I know is that somewhere there is a ziplock baggy (baggie, sic?; crap, can't spell either) with four pushrods.  All wiped down and individually labeled frt-exh, frt-int, rr-int, rr-exh.  Somewhere.

Until such a time as they choose to make themselves known, however, I am from this day forward claiming Bob's idea as the reason they are gone.  I saw Zippers printed on the tubes.  They would have been the last such part remaining in the engine.  And the Buttonfly Resurrection demanded I throw them away.  So I fed them to Beavers then threw away the Beaver poop.  Just to be thorough.

Of course the only thing I can get local to have in hand for this weekend are the Harley SE adjustables.  That new 08 part number Harley adjustable set is "for release in February" but no dealer I called has the number in their system yet.  May just bite the bullet an overnight a set of Feulings from somewhere.

Get somebody else to look. Pinkie gets called to the basement for this every now and then.

Describe the item and get the heck out so as to not influence the other party.

Most likely, they are hiding in plain sight.

Good luck. At least we know you're not pulling your hair out over this one.

Look in the refrigerator next to the ketchup. That's where I Cheri find everythings I've misplaced around here.

Push rods?  Look around any push up bras. 

[spydglide]

well, I'm not gonna comment on this whole episode due to being the oldest rat in the barn and surely the one w/ the worst case of CRS.  I use the bagging, tagging, labeling, and lists, etc......then can't remember where the damned lists are.......but, alcohol will temporarily sooth the pain and frustration and add to the daim bramage.  har! good luck, '2'  spyder

Hey Naitram, good clue! Try the fridge and the bathroom.

[Boatman]

Hey Don-


I still think you forgot you had adjustable pushrods and cut them.   

I have heard the Rivera pro taper have worked well for some.

I tried looking there!

In the past year I've found (at separate times) the TV remote and one of the cordless phones in the fridge.  So it has become someplace I alwasy look for anything now.  Pushrods weren't there....

I bailed this afternoon Bob.  Went to the Harley shop and got a set of the old SE adjustables.  The dealer had only the Harley product and there's no other shop within 100 miles that had anything else.  I would have preferred the Feulings.  But the dealer had these, now, and with a 15% discount this month over the parts counter.  So, screw it, I've got pushrods again and didn't have to do some gawdawful overnight Saturday freight to have them in hand for the weekend.

You know, there are some things best kept to yourself...

  Like I told the nice police officer in the unmarked squad car that I passed on the way to work (well beyond the speed limit) last summer...  I told him that every so often you do something stupid and tell all your friends about it and give them a laugh at your expense - and occaisionally you do something so stupid that the only thing even more stupid would be to tell your friends about it.  (He laughed and I got a warning ticket)

Hmmm.... 


The phone was the first thing I ever lost in the fridge Scott.  Couldn't find it at all.  Couple of days went by.  With normal household noises never heard it either (must be dark in there!). 

Then one morning about 4:00 AM stumbled out to the kitchen for a glass of water.  While standing there the fridge rang.  Found the phone...
