Lost

I am excellent at losing things but I have surpassed myself this time.
Karl left us a multigym when he died, and for a while it lived with me at Simon's flat in Faversham, assembled, then disassembled, and it then returned with me to Dukes Avenue whereupon it lived in the disused shower in our downstairs bathroom.

Since then it's been round the corner to my flat for a year or so where it lived in the garage, disassembled, and most recently it moved back to the shower, but not before spending a couple of months in my broken-down 4x4 on the driveway. It's fair to say it's been around a bit.

About a fortnight ago I moved it from the 4x4 to our newly-extended shed, and over the weekend I started to assemble it. I got about half way through before it dawned on me and I stopped, motionless, mid-screw.

I've lost the weights.

How in HELL do you lose a dozen or so 5kg weights?

I'm going to have to try and improvise something, which looks 'challenging' at best. It's not that I'm short of heavy things, heaven knows, but the mechanics have to be just-so for the weights to slide freely up the retaining poles. Unless I remove the retaining poles, maybe...
