PING! That spring is now orbiting Fargo for all I know. Oh darn! I had a

in a bag to keep track of that little ****ant spring. Wrong-o!

It is probably worth 5 minutes of 'drag-the-baggied-magnet' on the

If anyone wonders why we put baggies around our magnets, just drag

White-painted floors help immensely, too, butcha gotta keep 'em clean.
