Let me begin by saying, I've been laid up for 2 1/2 weeks after having surgery on my right leg, and I have had little for entertainment other than HBT. 
So with nothing to do I figured why not build a kegerator and say to hell with bottling. SO, I had a couple extract kits on order already; NB's Red Irish Ale, and Carbiou Slobber, because I knew that I was going to have nothing to do other than laying around with ice being a cripple. I bought a new Danby fridge which went off without a hitch. Order a 2 tap tower with everything. Of that order, I was shorted a smart strip, a faucet wrench, and the 2 kegs were backordered. Awesome. So I ordered 2 more kegs from another vendor since they were in stock because I was unsure of when the rest of my other order was going to be filled. Got the 2 kegs, found out today one was defective and wasted a bunch of CO2. Great vendor and he is already taking care of it. Kegged the Irish ale with my only remaining keg. Fittings in the tower leaks. Son of a. Tried tightening up the fitting in the tower and the wrench falls off the side of the kegerator into a 12 pack box of Great Lakes bottles which were empty. Smash; glass hits the cabinets. So, hobbling around the kitchen can't find the piece of glass, oh wait, yep, just F'n stepped on it with my bare foot. I'm done and having a beer. What a day.
Ever have those days when things just fall apart and absolutely nothing goes as planned?
