Reminds me: I still have in my tool box coupla nice open end wrenches that
I confiscated after finding them TWICE wedged in between flaperon actuator
and underside of wing spar on "my" B-47E during a major periodic inspection
and repair. (Flaperon is part of the flap that spills with aileron to aid
roll control at slow speed and is hydraulically operated at 3000 psi. When
sitting on ground, flaps down, if auxiliary power is applied to aircraft,
hydraulic pressure would instantly return flaperon to normal down position
and shove wrenches through wing spar.) 'Bout midmorning one day in periodic
inspection hanger, I found the two wrenches there. 'Removed them, found
offending flight controls mechanic, scolded him for his carelessness and
stupidity and told him, "If I find such as that again, the wrenches will be
MINE." 'Came back from lunch and found the wrenches in offending/dangerous
position again, therefore, wrenches still in my tool box.

The important thing is that you didn't have any pieces left over when you
were done.

Well, SURE! Any schlub can rebuild an engine, but we all know how much
fun removing seats is.
Well that's just fine and dandy, perhaps next week I'll attempt to put
fuel in the car and will be named shade tree mechanic of the year.
Say, did I ever tell y'all how I amazed a Nobel laureate?
Back in the days when I worked at Drexel, a sandyhaired gent walked into
my office. "Hiya, Mitch! What's that?" "Hi, Alan! Mercedes
carburetor. Just rebuilt it." "Amazing. Never could do that sort of
thing." And with that, Alan MacDiarmid, Nobel laureate in Chemistry,
walked into my boss' office.
