Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8290  Name: Mini Forklift
* 
8290-1 (Inv) Mini Forklift
88 Parts, 2008
Sets: Technic: Model: Construction

* Delete 1 Part 6628 Black Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise and Towball (Extra)
* Change {1 to 2} Part Black 6628 Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise and Towball

Comments from Submitter:
A woman on the street asked me which Kurt I preferred: Cobain, Vonnegut, Jr., Russell, or Gödel.

I said, of course, that my preference would always be for Kurt Vonnegut, Jr, although the other Kurts ain't bad, either.

  Assorted wise and insightful observations

The part count as printed on the set box is 89 (first photo). The parts list
only includes 88 parts, though (second photo). BrickLink's inventory shows
87 parts.

The extra towball pin should be regular because it was included in every set,
is shown on the parts list, and is necessary for the alternate model (third photo).

Oh, that explains so much.

I had no idea that preferring an author over a vocalist, an actor, and a mathematician
would provide such an illuminating insight into my psyche. Nevertheless, I'm
glad to hear you found it so.

Well, to begin with, you know his name and that he was a writer.

More simply, that meant I find similarities with what I remember from the few
works of his I read and your comments in ICRs.

Next, yes, preferring an author over a vocalist, an actor, and a mathematician
does provide insight into your psyche.

Actually, that you have reduced the differences between the Kurts to their professions/occupations,
instead of their works, acts, words, lives, last names, or whatever else, tells
even more.

Sure, any of that could be a dissemblance, but I also know that and it is well
noted and annoted on the wall in the center of which your name and a question
mark are written.
