An almost productive afternoon

I strongly recommend filling your socket set completely before taking it somewhere. If there is one socket missing then inevitably some other socket will take it's place, leaving a gap in an unexpected place. I spent a good 20 minutes looking for the 10mm socket, I knew I'd used it and now it was missing. I eventually remembered that the 1/2" socket was at home and sure enough the 10mm had taken it's place. I wasn't watching the time and the unlike their other Pick-A-Part branches, the Takanini branch doesn't have a big siren to warn you they are closing. I had just found the socket and was about to leave when someone thought of coming over to tell me they had closed. By this time they had closed off their computer and I couldn't pay for the parts that I had extracted.

I didn't even have the iPod up very loud.

I've got a long driveshaft, another gearbox & a speedo cable waiting for me.
