[Boatanchors] Why didn't I think of that?

[Dale Putnam]

And.... and if you are just simply very lucky, you will find, 
after you have it all apart, and the nuts, bolts, washers, spacers, and insulators are all
alive and well, in the magnetic bowl, very easy to find, very simple to put them all back in now...
yes, now... because the schematic and information to do the work that you were so very careful in planning,
and making it so very NOW!! up to date and especially saved... on that floppy disk, that is now.... 
living under the magnetic bowl.... with all those neatly saved notes... scambled beyond recovery. 
And we all know that if the pieces aren't put back in now.... they will never all get back in..
magnetic bowl or not. 
 
Have a great day, ...... shared with the new bench cop..... the magnetic bowl....
