So it happened to me again.  I was carefully carrying a tray with two 32mm figures on it, plus their tiny metal parts (shields, knife, tail…), when I noticed a box that needed to be put away. Do two things at one time, be more efficient, right? Somehow the box started to fall, I tripped, and everything on my tray went flying! And to my astonishment, the figures and their pieces were not in sight! So I got down on my hands and knees. I got out the vacuum cleaner. The floor was thoroughly cleaned, but I was still missing one of the figures and several vital parts… Until I spotted them sitting on a shelf. Nice landing! Now everything has been recovered, just waiting for some dry weather to get these primed and back to my workbench. |

I keep trying to tell myself to only take one drawer at a time out of the box, but will I listen? |

I am lucky to do one thing at a time. |

Back in December 2019, I was doing a simple head swap, drilling a hole in the head so I could insert a bit of brass rod. Somehow, the Dremel grabbed the head and ripped it from my hand, and I saw it go flying off towards the bookshelf.
When I searched for it, I couldn't find it. This is one of several things that motivated me to clean the room in February and March, 2020. I moved everything out, crawled around feeling and looking, and finally vacuumed, but no head. After a month or two more, I gave up and sculpted a new head. In some ways, it was actually better than the one I bought. Over the past weekend, I decided to clean the desk (undoubtedly inspired by the photos people post of their neat, tidy painting areas--these folks have a lot to answer for!). I moved a hundred or so paint bottles, and lots of other things. There was the lost head, which hadn't gone off to the bookshelf, after all. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it now. Grelber |

Well, you know what they say… Two heads are better than one! |

Bill, perhaps you should put the boxes in a wagon and pull them across the floor. |

Pneumatic tubes throughout the office would be nice. |
