Rudi, I pulled a bigger blunder than your locking the keys in the car. The scene. I went out to the back patio to put together 2 new planters to hang on the fence. I got out the tools, screw gun, scissors to cut the screening for the bottom of the planter. Install the brackets on the fence, plant the planters, now the clean up. I brought the hose through the garage; picked up everything set it on the BBQ, finish by putting the hose on the jet stream to clean up the patio. Looks great, impatiens on the fence. The finish. Put everything away, it's getting close to 1:00; the stock market will be closing, hurry up. Carry everything all at once; drop my coke in the garage, spills everywhere. Open the back door, drop everything off at the back step, run to the garage to clean up the coke, hear something drop, oh well. Go to the patio and admire the new planters, check out the other pots of plants. Slowly head back to finish putting away the tools. The problem. What fell? The hose, and when it did, it hit the trigger nozzle and jammed on open. Remember the setting is jet stream; the water is on full blast. The hose is spraying directly into my kitchen, flinging back and forth, up and down. I never knew you could just bring a hose in and clean up the kitchen. I'm exhausted, but still managed to get to golf lessons.
