So the summer heat is still beating down on us. Today was a vacation day and a good time to do some much needed maintenance this morning. The guns got pulled out and cleaned (accuracy has become a joke after 1000 pellets since the last cleaning). Also hit all the metal with some Johnsons paste wax. It still wasnt too hot in the garage yet so I decided the Davv compressor was due for an oil change (i just got some Royal Purple so it was good timing) My normal routine is to prop the compressor up in the back and drain into a funnel that goes into my 1 gallon waste oil container. So grabbed a 10mm socket and loosened up the drain plug and proceeded to drop it into the funnel. A few less than choice words escaped my mouth. Y3a this is gonna be a mess. So after tipping and tilting and doing everything possible to get the compressor drained it was time for the dirty deed. Imagine my excitement when I discovered the drain plug caught in the end of the funnel! Yea that was almost better than a head shot on a starling. Gonna eat some lunch and set up some targets. Time to do some shootin
Sometimes you get lucky

THAT IS LUCKY.. I have a habit of placing a neodymium magnet in the socket since everytime I change the oil on anything , I always drop the drain plug in the oil drain pan...

Lol i had dug out my neodymium magnets with the intention of using them to fish out the plug. Never thought to put it in the socket in the first place. Thanks for the tip
