I lost my Chapstick tube [View all]

In between the console and the drivers seat last week.

I had some difficultly removing the tube even with my long skeleton type fingers.

I had to use a wooden yardstick to push the tube forward. I finally got it after awhile.

I purchased a purple pool noodle today and did this.
