Yeah this is brave. I always end up dropping a few springs and stems when I’m lubing. Can’t imagine trying to locate them on a plane.

I tried to mitigate this by putting all the parts into ziploc bags when I wasn't using them, which worked out. Luckily the plane didn't hit turbulence.

My first thought was, man if I did this the plane would hit an air pocket and the lady behind me would get half a cherry red to the face.

Is that what they're calling it these days? How kinky.

Might want to see a doctor if it's red.

Very lucky for you then, my flight from HND to SYD last week hit 2 hours of severe turbulence

Yeah I was kinda scared to do this. I did this a couple days after the Hawaiian airlines incident.

My parents were kind enough to tell me about that incident after my plane landed. (Not to Hawaii or anything.) Sounds awful.

Yeah my go to is a pill organizer thing. Those big containers full of lil squares that open and close individually. I use these even in my own home because it just helps.

That's pretty smart. Unfortunately my bag is already fairly stuffed so I'm unable to do that

This is brave for the shear fact that if OP is anything other than a safe looking white man, Karen in 22B will be screaming to report him for building a bomb.

One time I was taking apart my paintball gun and one of the springs that was like a quarter of an inch and super super skinny, and mind you my garage is one of those that has shit everywhere. Long story short I ended up finding it on the other end of the garage under my dads tool thing.
