Ditto for me, Rite of Passage #6: Disappearing parts, I practice on a daily basis but not limited to parts. Wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers whatever tool I just happen to place down seems to vanish!
I do think they missed one. When a small part like a bolt or nut disappears down into someplace where it’s near impossible to retrieve, or you think it might have! The engine is one place I can think of. Thats where magic fingers and magnets on a stick come into place. A few strategically places rags often eliminates the issue but too many times haste got in my way!
Also, while in my haste working on my work bench, I’ll drop a screw and you hear it hit the bench but is nowhere to be found. I have allot of patience so I usually do find the item, but a old towel on the bench or a tray, would have save me allot of wasted time.
