Loosing something in your garage is a great opportunity to clean it up. Just clean until you find the #$%*& thing!
I am getting hard of hearing...so when I drop a bolt (or whatnot) and lose sight if it, I will drop a second one on purpose to see what direction it goes. Not usually successful, but it gives me a clue as to how far (if not direction) to look.
I lost a Guzzi oil pan.After days of searching I remembered that I had put it in the garbage tote to drain several weeks earlier. I know where it is now, in the land fill.
As a learned amateur gunsmith, there is no worse feeling than when you hear the "ping-tink'-tink' " sound of a detent and its spring you were trying to install suddenly going ballistic off your work bench! Mr. murpy sez: the likelihood of you losing a small part directly correlates to how hard it will be to find a replacement!
I lost this screwdriver back in 1993 while changing the front tire of my AMA Pro Twins bike. Before I got the proper cable tool, I used to guide the valve stems through the rims using this thin philips driver. Well once I got the stem through, I dropped the driver, and assumed it rolled off under something to be found later. I installed the tire, the last front tire I ever mounted on that bike, and used it for the rest of the 1993 season. Sold the bike in 1994 to a collector. Bought the bike back in winter 2016/17 (23 years later) to build a Land Speed Racer. Was changing the tires out, and lo and behold my screwdriver. Yes, I roadraced a half a season with a screwdriver between my tube and tire.
