was standing up while solving 4x4 got a explosion and lost a big inner mech piece it was in the garbage.. i realized that when i took out the trash
 
I lent my Shengshou 4x4 to my friend in pieces, having just had an explosion, and had a mini heart attack when he texted me, saying one of the internal pieces was missing. Luckily, I found it, but it was still the scariest moment of my life.
 
Today, I attempted a full blind solve for the first time (Using Old Pochmann). As I finish up the edges, I realize that during solving the very first edge, I had shot to the FL target instead of the FR target. FML.
 
I was about to beat my OH PB by about 10s and get my first sub-1 minute time. 45 seconds and it was just an A perm with no AUF. Then I dropped the cube on my keyboard, stopping the timer, so it was a DNF. That's twice I've done that with OH today just before a PB :(
 
My tube of 50K Silicone oil began to leak and was clearly about to have the tip break off. So I dropped by the drug store to get something to put the oil into. They had little "travellers size" bottles so I picked one up. When I got home I emptied it into my shampoo bottle figuring I wouldn't notice the mixture.

Next shower I realize that I'm now using mouthwash on my hair. At least it mostly floated up to the top.
 
After my first sub-20 solve on 3x3, decided to see if I was also in the zone for some good 4x4. Got a pretty good start with the first two centers, and the first two cross edges where already paired up after that. Lot's of blocks to build the last four centers, and edge pairing wen't really good. It could actually have been my first sub-2, but because it's a WitFor, I was being realistic and aimed for 2:30, which is still a minute faster than what I usually get. No OLL parity, great. There was PLL parity though, but that's a fast one to fix. And what do you know? Cube explodes :mad:
 
Going to Toronto for my birthday
Ordered 2 mini zhanchi's 2 weeks ago so I can practice OH on the way there
Cube arrives at my house on my birthday while I'm in Toronto

FML

I guess the post office planned to surprise me on my birthday with my cube order but it didn't really work?

I hate when that happens, when you order a puzzle to bring on a trip but it doesn't arrive in time :(
