1. i hate allen wrenches.
2. i need an allen wrench.
3. i can't find an allen wrench.
see, shar's bike is about 6 inches too tall in the seat area. last time i tried riding it, it was a total nightmare. i went up to the attic, thinking oh, this should be nothing, just lowering the seat. i noticed i needed an allen wrench. i skipped back in to get one, and i can't find a damn one anywhere. before we moved in here, we took a trip to ikea and bought maybe 8 things that needed assembly. and christ, they give you an allen wrench with practically everything. i seem to remember myself saying, "OK. this is where i'm going to put the allen wrenches in case anything needs to be disassembled or tightened. so remember that." that means i'll never find them, because those words are my cue to promptly forget anything that comes out of my own mouth.
ok, time for more looking.
