Two and raise you a third! Not alcometers bur Brix spindles, same idea but different SG range. I had one in each hand returning them to the inclined rack they were stored on. Somehow dislodged another one from the rack. Made a grab for it as it fell while still having one in each hand. I actually managed to catch the third spindle but the sudden movement snapped the stems on all three spindles. The spindles only cost $100 each but certification added an extra $200 each. Had to write a very contrite apology letter to the CEO for that one! Luckily the whole episode was witnessed by my supervisor who was able to report that it was an accident and not the consequence of carelessness.

That's pretty impressive actually :clap:

I feel heaps better about myself now kimbodious thanks for that :laughing-rolling: What a ripper!
Hope you didn't get into to much strife anyway. Although where I work a fuckup like that is a carton offense, probably 2 cartons.
