Want me to come film it?

It's probably better for me if there are no witnesses.

I dunno, that's a pretty nice hat. The way my luck is running, I'd end up cutting it in half because it was backwards.

I got ready to take the bike off the jack, and started moving all the crap out of the way, including the floor jack. Lying just in front of it, were a nut and washer. To put this in context, this was just after I'd mauled the new fender liner with the tin snips, so I wasn't exactly happy at the moment. I grabbed a wrench to see what size the nut was.....19mm. Nothing I did yesterday was 19mm. Uh oh. The only 19mm that I could think of were the rear shock bolts, and they were still there (and not nuts). I finished bleeding the brakes and took my test ride, but the whole time I was thinking WTF was that nut from?


I figured I wouldn't be able to ride today until I figured out where it went, which meant ripping the back of the bike apart again.

After dinner, I took Dana out to the shed to show her what I'd done, and I showed her the nut and washer, which I was worrying about even more, as the washer was dented as though the nut had been torqued down pretty hard. She took one look at it, looked down at the floor of the shed and said...............

"Dumbass, that's from the front wheel of the floor jack."

I love that woman.



BTW, would you like me to bring a new set of tin snips with me to MV.
You seem to be using yours quite a bit.

Do I see oil in that last picture?

The truly tragic thing (or funny, depending on where you're standing) is that I was so damn proud of myself for making the thing work.

Come stand over here where it's funny as hell, Russ...

You made an honest mistake. The following comments and realizations were what got me.
