Had one of those windshield/bug days...just collected 22l of nice clear sweet sap from my trees....and carelessly grabbed a tea towel to mop up a spill...and my Smokey Lake hydrotherm went flying and crashed to its death :-/
Glad I'm enough of a packrat to have kept my previous therm and cup, so not in the weeds. But still that was a major bummer. Hope Cooke's still carries them!
