So here's hoping someone else might get a laugh out of this.
I was in need of the length of the front drive shaft from a 1st gen explorer, and there was one for sale down the road here, so I decided to go look at it while I was out there to put the deposit on my 1-piece shaft for the conversion.
Got out of my truck, laid down on the storm drain, scooted under it, and hear clink, thunk, splash. Got out, turned over, and my keys AND phone are down in the puddle at the bottom.
Got them out, and now using my old phone, but still one of those things that makes you go grr.
Got my numbers though!!
