Autozone And The Cool Thing That Picks Up Bolts

We’re resting in a Walmart parking lot in Huntsville, Alabama. The weekly rental places we checked out were insanely expensive. We had dinner at the New China Buffet and it was very good with a nice selection of sushi and my favorite-hot and sour soup, and a great shrimp and zucchini dish.

We had our battery tested at Autozone earlier today after a couple weeks of weak starts, and they confirmed it was a bad battery. While installing the new one for us, the employee accidentally dropped a bolt down into the transmission. Cringing, I thought that was going to be a problem, but another guy went in the store and brought out this extendable thing that looked like an antenna with a magnet on it. It was a piece of cake to fish the bolt out. How many others could benefit from this amazing little tool, I wonder?

I was so impressed, I think the guy was embarassed-he said I could keep it.
