Yeah, I think that happens to me but I look up the shop on my 'home' to see what's up...

Oh, I found the little teensy, tiny screw that I dropped last night. So, I will try what was last suggested in a bit. I HOPE it works. :-D :-D :-D

In regards to that little screw I purchased a set of mechanics magnet wands from the auto parts store for less than $4.00 they have a telescoping handle and are great for getting lost things like pins,and screws.

I need to get one of those. I vacuumed up a piece off of my Davis this weekend. :-( So changed out the bag right away, but do you think I can feel it easily? So have it all in a grocery bag now and will sift through it again. :roll:

Lisa if you have a speaker magnet or a strong magnet off of your refrigerator you can run it through the grocery bag of dirt and it will stick to it.

Hope this helps....
