Default Where'd that bolt go?

I've lost a bolt for the water pump pulley. The LAST time that happened, it dropped out of transwarp, intersected the fan, which then proceeded to play jai-alai with the radiator, puncturing it three or four times.

Well, the bolt's gone walkabout again....where'd it go?

(Gah sorry bout the lack of options...computer crashed... :smash: )

I found one in my CAT converter when I pulled it off. It had worn a nice 3 by 3 pocket in the matrix. Maybe that's where bolts go when they are trying to get away from the stress.

I once watched in amazement as my Doberman pooped out a pile of red poop...He'd eaten my lumber crayon...

So, if you have a dog, get a latex glove, and check that pooper out!!! :D :lol: :crazy:
