i was getting up to go to the bathroom and kicked the side of my plano box (humidor) and inside is a shot glass full of distilled water. so it spills over and right on top of my hygrometer. Now i gotta buy another $22 one from Viper. Ded Gummit! That's very aggrivating. At least none of my sticks got wet.

On a lighter note, me and my girlfriend, Sarah, got my Christmas tree up tonite. It was fun, went out, picked out a tree, lights, and ornaments. Good times. She's great.

Save your $22 and buy some beads and dont worry about the water or Hygro again. nuff said.

ya, i got the beads. it's just the extra boost of confidence of having a working, accurate hygrometer that i need.

Why do you have the shot glass of distilled water if you have the beads? Seems like it would just make the beads absorb moisture until they can't hold any more, then the humidity will continue to rise.
