You think you know your rain accessories...

So I decided I was going to trade my two eGo cases and bag of juices that made up my daily kit for a small tackle box I was currently using for my disused juices. In the process found a juice I hadn't tried since I got it nearly a year ago and did a video review on it, so that was cool. (Well, not really, the juice was vile.) But I also did the swap, so now I had a nice portable tackle box to keep all my vape gear in, a single-box solution, which I was happy with.

This morning I'm half-groggily going about my morning pre-work routine putting stuff I needed to take in my backpack, which included my tackle box o' vape gear. I have a specific section I put all that stuff in, and it includes my umbrella. Well, the kit's a bit on the wider side so I'm having to shove my umbrella out of the way to stuff it in, and as I'm doing so--

*THWAP*

My umbrella's spring-loaded handle disengaged and punched me square in the mouth hard enough to send my head recoiling and make a sizable cut on my inner lip -- I mean, it drew a fair bit of blood. Hurt like hell. Still stings and I can't eat anything large that's likely to stretch my face.

So, that settles that, then. My umbrella hates me and my vaping. Well, you know what, umbrella? Screw you. I have opposable thumbs, elastic bands, and a sudden penchant to learn how to hog tie.

OMG I have tears streaming down my face right now.......sorry Mindfield I'm not laughing at you, but more thinking to myself that would be my luck......

You know what? In hindsight, if I was watching that happen to someone else, I'd probably laugh my fool head off. I'd feel bad for it afterward, but still, the sight of an umbrella completely out of nowhere decking someone in the mouth from inside a backpack ... that's just straight up slapstick and I'd laugh if it didn't hurt.

Moral of the story: Umbrellas are evil :)
I wear a waterproof coat and a hat... That's all I need!

When I think of umbrellas the thought of evil witches enter my brain , a hoody should be on your xmas list for sure.

I hate those things though. You can't exactly take a seat on a bus with one. The moment you get up you'll leave a puddle that will have people wondering if that's rain or not.

K.I.S.S.

1) Choose a setup that doesn't require a lot complicated crazy things like a tackle box (this is about the craziest thing I'ver heard of).

2) Don't carry an umbrella. Wear a water-resistant cowboy hat.

I like being prepared for whatever eventuality arises. :)

If you saw me in a cowboy hat you'd laugh harder than my little tale above could ever generate.

I'm a geek, but I'm not that geek. I'd have to be able to retire comfortably on the money paid to make me wear that.

As the gunny would say... "Umbrellas are for sissies. Drop and give me 20!"

:)

But ... but I only have $10!
