Oh man. Don’t I know. I finally spray painted my man card pink and got some of those librarian lanyards that go on the earpiece and around your neck. I’ve only lost/mangled/crushed 3 or 4 pairs since then.
I use my phone a lot now. I take pictures of serial numbers or part numbers that are too difficult to get into a position to see. Sometimes it takes several tries.
I needed to order filters for my mower and of course needed the model, serial number, and the blood type of the guy who assembled it in order to get the right filters.
I stuck my camera between the frame and the engine and got a picture of the info. I have literally never seen this with my own eyes, glasses or no.
