While doing clean up on the mixte, I kept getting distracted.
I had the free-wheel off the hub, and finally was able to concentrate on what I was doing.
You'd think something as big as a free-wheel socket would be easy to find, but noooooo!

At put away and clean up time, I couldn't find it.
Searched for the darn thing for 2 hrs. without luck. (I'm working in the living room with relatively clear floors)
I even checked the trashcan twice. Yup, that's where it was- in the trash can. I had to up-end the trash can to find it, cleverly disguised as a potato chip bag. (That's Mrs. S's habit, not mine)
I was in a panic, because that was the last Sun Tour free-wheel socket in the LBS. I probably would have had to wait for another.
