Next I go to the gbb sling, check on the water offer a pin head no problem. Finally to the smithi sling. ... open the lid,  add a touch of water go digging around in the pinhead cup for a little one.  Find one,  look up and there goes the smithi like a rocket up the side,  over the top, down the outside and on to the table.  @$*t!!! I say as the little bugger is tearing across the table littlelegs a blur like "taz" from buggs bunny! I throw the pin head in the tank.  Smithi is at the end of the table now,  I lose sight of it fir a sec ( ah crap if you made it to the carpet I'm boned I'll never find ya) Then I see it.  I put one hand behind it, one at the edge of the table and shush it into my had. Ok now I can breath lol.  Nope! !  There it goes up my arm heading for my shoulder, I block it with my other hand before it gets in my shirt.  Now I'm like a circus clown juggling the little one between hands, as I'm trying to grab the tank or lid to get it back in.   Finally the little one gets coxed back in and the lid goes on.  Lol what a night lol</blockquote>
