Heath knob

[Don]

LOL   ROTFL

Carl, I think the part he's trying to retrieve is *inside* the knob
itself (he ain't lost it yet!), but I thank you for the tip. I have
never heard of it, and It just may save me the next time I loose some
tiny part and am unsuccessfull crawling around on the floor with
flashlight and reading glasses to look for it.
I guess I would feel like Tim Taylor if I had to buy pantyhose, and I
would have to do it cause the old woman decided to wear jeans 10 years
ago.
I know what you mean about sneaking stuff back. She got after me just 2
days ago cause I forgot to put her little makeup mirror back after I
used it as an inspection mirror. Damn if she didnt know EXACTLY what
happened to it! LOL
