Too Slow.

Tonight I'm doing the final cleaning for our house inspection tomorrow, and have a vacuum under the modeling desk. I spot a black object and think ' That looks like the square bit of metal I lost 2 weeks ago while modifying the 4-8-2 to a B 4-8-0'.

However in real time the sequence of events was 'That looks like the square bit of tink rattle rattle metal I lost 2 weeks ago bugger'.
There's no way I'm going fishing in a dustbag to find it again either.
