Was so happy that I seemed to have fixed the battery charging on my dump truck I closed the hood and forgot about the tools I left on the passenger side step. Didn't realize it until after I had hauled about a dozen loads of dirt. Went over to the truck and found my side cutters and a 1/2 inch ratchet wrench still there. Figured the other tools would have fallen off pretty quick but wasn't so lucky. Walked everywhere I drove and no luck. Went to see if they were somehow stuck on the truck somewhere and did find my pen light flashlight resting between the step and fuel tank. That was good because it was the most expensive of the tools. I figure I lost a hammer and a pair of pliers. You would hope they'd fall and be easy to see but if they ended up in the dirt I was digging, I can all but forget about finding them. Kicking myself for not putting the tools back after I was finished with them.
