I remember when we did the reel day at Slipknots house. Ox pulled apart his 7500 ABU reel , cleaned it all inside , re lubed and reassembled it. Wouldn't work. He asked me for help and so I looked at it and saw that the little clip that actually wraps around the teeth of the gear was all under the gear. He then took it apart , reassembled it correctly then right near completion he dropped one of the small parts. It landed on the floor , bounced and was never seen again. I would have been cursing up and down for an hour but OX just took it in stride. We looked a long time but never found it. He never even swore once.
I also remember him always asking if I had made Strawberry shortcake when he arrived at M+D's for the Barbecues we used to have. He loved the strawberry shortcake!
I'll miss that guy!
