Brian425 0 #1 February 11, 2004 I'm not sure if this should be in incidents or not. My first time going to reserve today. I was a little worried, but all my training made it a natural. Here's the story. I'm at work. The market opens pretty quiet. The bran muffin and coffee is working it's magic. I grab the paper and head off the the mens room. Greenspan is ready to talk the market is getting a little busy. THE PRESSURE IS ON. I need to take care of business and get back quick. I hit the stall, put down the paper a$$ gasket and open the paper. Everything is going as planned. It's time to pull, I look and the roll is empty. I look at the newspaper, I look at the roll holder. I hit the reserve button. A brand new fresh roll drops down. Disaster is averted!!!! This is my first time going to the reserve roll. I told a collegue and said I'll buy beer. He looked at me a little strange and said as long as I'm buying, he does not care why. Remeber you training. Practice when you have free time. You never know when it will save you. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 212 #3 February 11, 2004 Tear jerker - That was a little close - I think a proper gear check could have avoided it though. Glad you are ok. Don't forget the Rigger.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian425 0 #5 February 11, 2004 Unfortunately nobody would give me a gear check. I did the best I could alone. It's al learning experience. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
