WARNING ... KXPD1-K2 Paddle Clamp ...

[K. Rice]

My YF, the beader extraordinare, reading over my shoulder, says that
we guys don't know how to find anything.

She says that the secret to finding small parts imbedded in deep carpet
is to take the carpet brush off the vacuum cleaner, fit one leg of a
pair of panty hose over the end of the tube, and vacuum the area vigorously.

The tiniest of tiny parts are said to fetch up against the mesh from
whence they can be retrieved without effort.

"I'm suprised you guys didn't  know this already."

Now where did I put those panty hose?

Awww, you got it all wrong Ken.

XYL's are useful for finding things. Too much testosterone prevents being
able to locate anything smaller than the remote control for the TV.

Guys are useful for pushing and shoving stuff the XYL can't handle and for
hogging the TV remote.

Am I the only one who sees one on the desk top and one on the carpet? Did
you perhaps knock the one off the desk then find it again later?

        Now that is a great tip. I will remember that one the next time I
drop and SMT part.
