Default Well... that was shocking.

So.. I walk down to my basement today to check on my tank, and I see that my LEDs have turned off. "Perfect" I thought, just the way to start my morning. So after a bit of jiggling, I deduced that the computer power supply running the leds and my auto topoff must have gone haywire. "No problem" I think... I'll just replace it with a powersupply from my computer parts graveyard. So just as I bend over to turn the power supply off, something sparked! I don't know what happened, but there was a time frame of about 15 minutes that I don't recall... and for some reason, I found myself on the floor. Just to finish everything off, the relay for my auto topoff fried as well.

Did I learn a lesson? Oh yeah... keep that powersupply far away from water.

Oh yeah, after that incident, I found another one of my clowns sump surfing again.


What a way to start my morning

Hope the rest of you have a better start than I did
