Changed the oil on the 67 today. Was detirmined that not one of the 6 nuts was going to fall into the drained oil as per usual this time. Not one of them did, but when tightening them back up, I dropped the ratchet and socket in the oil. Oh well maybe next time. :o) Bill Berckman

I too did an oil change today. My drain pan has a plastic screen over the opening, but the mesh is open enough that a nut could fall through. While putting fifth nut back on I thought to myself, "I better move the drain pan in case I drop one." So I moved it. Then dropped the nut. And it fell safely onto the ground.
Sometimes you win one, sometimes you don't. I reckon that the number of wins and losses is a universal constant and the universe works hard to keep things in balance. My win balanced your loss. I thank you! Next time it might go the other way, and you'll be the recipient.
ahaHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, HO HO HO HO HO HO!!! HEE HEE HEE! Oh, stop! My ribs! AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, that's a good one!!!! HAHAHAHA! OMFG!!! tHe FUNNY!!!! ROFLPIMP!!!! OMFG!!! ROFL!!!! LOL!!!!
Bah, that's nothin. Last week I discover that it is not a good idea to change the oil on a very windy day, and I also discover how light oil can be and what a terrible stains it leaves on the parking lot...... >:(
