    That's gotta hurt. Hope you get replacement soon. How much did you spend on it?

    Bummer, sorry to hear that. Are you certain it went in the drink? Did you have telemetry going at the time? It's hard, knowing that you might have just not flipped that switch....and had a completely different day. Sorry to hear that Mike.
