Ha! I've spent most of the day bleeding out some decidedly cruddy
looking brake fluid from the Old Gal. I bought this little gadget that
claimed to make the job easy for one person to do. 

Right... a little hose attached to a bottle with a magnet that wouldn't
hold itself to the frame (the package claimed "Incredibly strong
magnet") I spend way too much time trying to dangle the little POS with
a tie wrap. A coke bottle and a bent clothes hanger would have worked
just as well. It's a 1977 fullsized Chevy pick-em-up, and that fluid was
really very nasty. 

Now, somewhere underneath Old Gal's skirts, between the 4 tires, I lost
my 3/8" combination wrench. You tell me where it went, I have looked
everywhere. <POOF!> It must have warped out to join the missing 1/2"
wrench that I always lose right off the bat. I've never found a cheap
1/2" wrench in the loose tool bin in any pawn shop that I have checked.
In our Universe there is a black hole that sucks them in when we aren't
looking, and a white hole that spews them out into some faraway galaxy,
where we'll never see them again. <sigh>  Ric
