I've been overhauling an old bike which I acquired recently. Dismantled the rear spindle, assiduously placed all the bits in a plastic pot, cleaned out the crud, went to put spindle back together; a small spacer is missing. Not in the pot, not in any tool-boxes, not on the floor or in any pockets, hasn't been knocked into a corner (I'm working in a small room with very few nooks and crannies, all of which are easily accessible) nobody else has been in the room and, stupidly omnivorous as she is, I can't believe that the dog would eat such a thing. I can only assume that it has fallen through a wormhole into a 4th dimension space which I can't access or I've had a visit from a relative/associate of the pu****re fairy; the widget gnome or something.
No assistance required, I just felt like a rant. The thing will doubtless reappear (in a place where it couldn't possibly have been missed) shortly after I finish raking through my stash of old widgets and grommets for a replacement
