Got stuck on a midnight shift at O'Hare last winter fixing a 737's APU bleed valve

Had to pull the whole duct assembly three times because I kept missing a hidden bolt near the firewall, and now I always take a photo from every angle before I start a job like that on the line how do you guys keep track of hardware on night shifts when it's freezing and pitch dark?

Oh yeah, I tape a ziploc to my forearm with the bolts inside so they don't grow legs.

Just tape your fastener bag to your jacket zipper, keeps em warm and easy to grab.
