....what's that saying, 'Mistakes........you won't live to make them all yourself!" ???
I identified about 172 things on my preflight ( meaning every bolt you view to ensure it's there, and secure). Due to my 'mature' age, it always seems like I could use more and more 'aids' to do simple, but important!, tasks like this!!!
Under the cowl, I like to question myself...."can i see, or feel, all 8 hinge pins?"
After pulling all my gust locks and vent covers etc., I think I should be numbering and labeling them, as they now total 13.
I think.

wait.......14, 15!
the toolbox count is a great iidea....unless you have multiple toolboxes, borrow from one or the other, aren't the only one using them ( home projects), have to load your truck from your shop, then haul across a long grassed area ( impossible to know what you might lose) or a myriad of other issues. I'd love to see how you guys do it!
