Day-221-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-detective

When I'm not selling guns, gold, or silver I like to change watch batteries in wristwatches. A wristwatch is jewelry that people used to wear on their wrist, so they could tell what time it was in the olden days. I usually do this for friends and family, I also adjust watch bands.

Today I had to turn into Detective Bruni because I was working on my neighbor's watch and when I went to screw in the hold down tab, the screw went flying. I usually work at my desk, but today I was working on the couch. I was fucked.

I looked all over for that tiny little screw, but it was no where to be found. This has happened to me before and I usually have to MacGyver the hold down, but this was my neighbor, and she's HOT!

I remembered that I have this heavy duty retrieval magnet, to recover lost fishing reels, in the garage. So I double check to make sure it's not in my clothes, go get the magnet, and run it across the couch, nothing. I then run it through the carpet and nothing.

I go get my Detective Bruni magnifying glass, that I use to check for coin errors, and check the magnet. Score, that tiny screw was in the hole where the nut that holds the magnet to the housing is.
