Hello
Hello back.
And since we're onto nothing, a couple of weeks back I got a new garage door. No big deal, but it messed up my not so organized garage layout even more. My two bikes are not completely assembled, so fairing all over the place, wood chips and saw dust from the old door everywhere, stuff thats been in a corner since '03 in the middle of the garage, you get the picture, it looks like a bomb went off.
Now a little thingy needs repair, which has a c-clip in it. No worries, I have c-clip pliers for that job. I'm standing there, in the middle of the shrapnel I used to call workbench, working on the thingy. The moment I get the c-clip out, it smells sweat freedom and uses the pliers as launch device. It landed in the garage. I know it did cause gravity still hard at work to keep fairing and other junk on the floor, and the doors where closed. It landed somewhere. And somewhere is in my garage 3 by 8 meters knee deep pile of stuff I found important enough to gather in my garage, but can now do without.
It's save to say the thingy is not getting repaired tonight.

What a nice post!
Hello all!!!
My garage is hovering around the 0ºC mark, the roads too, and I broke my meniscus about a month ago. No biggy. I'm not complaining. Just the excuse I needed to stay upstairs where it's warm and snuggle with the Mrs. drinking wine!
HAPPY XMAS everyone!

ThomVis - as much as I admonish the posting updates on social media like facebook - if you haven't already done so you should consider posting the lost thingy event and any updates of finding the little guy. I'm sure all your fb friends would love to get daily status updates.
Gosh I just thought of something awful - perhaps you already found the little bugger and I missed the whole thing unfold. Damn
Re: Hello
I don't do FB/Twitter updates. Friends around me do, and everyone can read about their private live online. I still have the feeling my private live should not be online.
By the way, I found the jesus-clip in a box of 8mm bolts last week, not where I was looking for it. The thingy is repaired, but not after I bought a replacement thingy. Garage floor is cleaned for the most part, bikes are together and in hibernation-mode. Just need to find a place for all the junk again which is now in my house.
