TPN Rock tips over my trailer!

*argh*

My first camping disaster.

I at last had the mobile office humming tonight. Two laptops on the table in front of me. Files spread out all around me, everything organized and efficient and in its place as I cranked away on my taxes.

Dinner run - Taco Bell. Came back, started to eat.

Decided I wanted to listen to some TPN Rock (awesome podcast - check it out) as I ate. Pulled laptop forward, got the music going, pushed it back, and.... *splash*

Giant super-gulp sized Taco Bell Mountain Dew tips over and floods the table. And the floor. And the bench seat across from me. And it even spreads down into the storage area inside the bench.

It was EVERYWHERE!

I scrambled to try and dam (and damn) the flood and get the papers and electronics clear - but it was nearly impossible in such tight quarters.

I spent the last hour cleaning up, mopping up, and dabbing Dew off of old bank statements. Hopefully things will not be too sticky in the AM. *ick*

Now I am sitting back down to my cold food.

*grumble*

Ewan - I blame you for this mess!

It could have been worse - it just stated misting outside. If it had been misting an hour ago, I wouldn't have been able to throw the seat cushions outside to dry for a bit while I mopped up. That would have been a real disaster!
