Default out smarted by my wife

was changing batteries in my 250 when one of the small chrome clips that the postive and negative posts connect to goes flying out when i pull the batteries. this the first time that ever happened.they just slide into place so be careful. anyway, it lands in the diveway that is topped with pea gravel. i looked for 20 minutes and could not find it. so i get my wife to come look also. after a while she goes and gets the leaf blower. now i'm thinking she has gone absolutely nuts. she says it might be lying on it's side and that's why we can't see it. she fires it up and in 30 seconds it appears out of nowhere. man, what a blow to my manhood.:bow:

Yeah. That's when you could have used the detector.
Same happened to me the first time I changed mine but it didn't go far.

Women are natural "fixers", we just don't know (or want to know) it.

Eye Balls! Eye Balls! You look so hard to find or see, that you do not see. Help, sometimes, makes you feel so small. (:-O)
