Ors,

Glad to hear that you are OK. We've all done something like this to ourselves, so you certainly aren't the first. Besides, it keeps your wife happy for a few days because she has a new reason to say "I told you so..." <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Seriously, it's good that you are practicing techniques instead of just buying gear and letting it sit while waiting for an emergency. You've just learned a method on how not to do something. It would have been more serious had it been during a real recovery from a disaster.

Hopefully, no one caught it on videotape. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
