OOPS #2,741 - and that?s just THIS month.
ALMOST glued my dust collector remote INSIDE a torsion box on which I was glueing the top. Got so focused on clamps, cauls, glue spreading and parts alignment that I didn?t see the RED remote. Got everything aligned and started applying the clamps.
Suddenly I heard the dust collector go on.
What the F...!
Checked my back pocket where I often clip the remote. Nope.
Began scanning the clutter on the end of the bench top. Nope.
Checked the router table - the home for the remote. Nope.
Scanned all the flat surfaces above floor level for anything RED. Nope.
You know that hollow feeling you get in the pit of your stomach as the relaization sets in that you?ve just done something really, really stupid?
If I take this top off and the remote isn?t in there I?m gonna be POed - big time!
Could you hear the sound of my palm striking my forehead - forcefully? Sure sounded really loud to me. Clear vision is returning - slowly. The embarassed expression will probably be gone by tomorrow - afternoon
- hopefully.
Maybe I should epoxy the remote to a 3 foot length of 2x4 - that?s painted International Organge.
