Speaking of IMS bearings, I've been missing the center stud for my bearing for sometime (like maybe a year???). Finally found it at the back of my desk behind my monitors today. I didn't find the AMEX corporate card is was looking for though...

Maybe I should put things back where they belong when I'm done fiddling with them... :roll:

I am not good at putting shit away after I use it - which is why my workbench consistently looks like an AutoZone threw up all over it.

I figured as much. On the second point I doubt that.

I wonder if it came with the wee booster seat that Tiny Tom probably used while filming...

I've heard they just used any old wooden crate that happened to be laying around. Pretty sure he wasn't a prima donna back then. Not completely sure though...
