Huh! I've been doing it wrong for 50 years and didn't know it! I suppose all my cords and ropes will go bad now. Oh well, maybe it's time for some new ones anyway, some of those are 30-40 years old or more.   BW

Here's a tip that works for me - If you drop a small part or tool, don't try to catch it. Likely you'll just knock it across the shop and you'll have a he!! of a time finding it, if you ever do. Watch it and listen, so you'll (hopefully) know where it went.
Oh - Another thing that helps, is keep a drain pan full of nasty old gear lube dead center (actually it doesn't matter where) under the car. Anything dropped will naturally land in the drain pan.

Bondo hair has fiberglass strands in it. Apply it with wax paper on the back side the paper will peel off in 25 min before its all the way set up and will leave a smooth finish easily sanded and taken care of.

Quite often, when I am working with small stuff, I'll make sure I have my dog  very close by..  When you drop something... LOOK at the dog and 9 out of ten times he will be looking right at it... or damn close.. Cats are even better at it..Thumbs Up
Uncle Steve, and I hate it when people say   " boy are you lucky " WHEN in fact..The harder you work, the luckier you are

Reviving a 2 year old thread about milk and snake poisoning.  (from a half way Dr. here)  Milk won't do a whole lot for snake poisoning, just like activated charcoal won't, because it is injected IV (when they bite you)  if you DRINK poison, milk can save your life, the proteins in the milk will bind most of the poisons because the proteins have a lot of different chemical properties, when milk hits your stomach, the acid changes the shape of the proteins, the poison binds, and then when it reaches your small intestine, your bile (from your liver & gall bladder) will revert the protein to closer to the natural formation, trapping the poison within.  Also, the mixed contents of the milk (protein, vitamins, minerals, etc.) will compete with many of the places that most poisons absorb.  Still, go to a hospital, but if you're in the boonies with a gallon of milk, drink as much as you can.  (The vomiting won't be a terrible thing either, as you'd lose a lot of the poison that way, just don't try to make yourself vomit regular concentration of the poison without diluting with the massive milk quantity, it'll burn just as bad coming up that way)

Cheap jeep cover.
I use a plastic pickup bed liner upside down to keep the snow and rain out of my jeep.
You can find them pretty cheap at yard sales. Or free on the side of the road because they blow out of pickups a lot when not secured.
Also check truck accessory and topper dealers. I found a local one with a pile of free ones.
