Oh yea... after they left I can't seem to find the 13mm socket that
was sitting there.  I am very particular and anal about my tools.  I
have owned that craftsman set as long as I have had the 85... 8 years.
 Never lost a socket.

I can't say the one dude took it but I can't find it either.  I am
hoping that my one-year old picked it up.  It just seems a coincidence
that I told dude to leave and it's gone now.

I ran some heavy gauge cable into the 87 to a distribution block for
future upgrades and had to pull the upper stress bar and water
resevoir to access the firewall penetration.

Yes I would like cheese with that.
