So there I am sitting at the wheel of my project boat (which is getting wet this weekend btw 
) fiddiling with a corroded transducer/power connection that seems to be making the unit cut out.<br /><br />Now, as I'm poking a wire rasp into and across the female posts to clean off visable corrosion that may have been causing the problem - a small blue spark flashes from my fingers.<br /><br /> Yup, I forgot to disconnect it from the battery. <br /><br />Well, that little blue spark caused a micro- sized flaming blue fleck of metal to land on the tip of my nose just ahead of and between my nostrils causing me to jerk my head back and slam my instantaniously flooded eyes while at the same time spurring an immediate reaction of my right hand (that was holding the wire rasp) towards my face to administer a soothing rub.<br /><br />But, before my hand had a chance to administer the soothing rub the rasp that was in my hand plunged into my left nostril halting my hand dead in its tracks and caused a steady stream of warm metalic tasting stuff to flow over my top lip.<br /><br />one cuss word ... only one burst out of my mouth unconsciously but, that one explative spattered warm matalic red stuff all over my shirt, shorts, legs and boots. <br /><br />All this due to some IDIOT not pulling a fuse which in turn caused a little teeny weeny blue spark.
