well throughout the pit, while pulling out mallets (changing mallets) you sometimes accidentally end up pulling an extra mallet out that u didn't want. whenever this happens with myself, i just try and kick it out of the way so i dont step on it, and whenever i have a few bars of rest, i just pop lock & drop it on down and pick it up..... lol
(not literally of course, but i try to make it look visually appealing, even though it so wasn't supposed to happen)
on a somewhat different topic, while unloading the trailer one time before a competition, i got one of those pepsi cups and drank some water. i just threw it in my mallet bag thinking i'd throw it away later. well in a rush, while getting my things set up for the opener (on the field) the cup flew out. Well i wasn't about to just leave it there, but i forgot to get it before i left..... that's probably why we didn't get in the top 5..... lol, jk
