So I'm sitting here in the studio setting up the new RCH Backup server that will go online in a few weeks. It's quiet except for the random youtube video that I have playing to have a little sound and something to look at instead of text. So the volume is low and it's nice and quiet since everyone else is asleep. I had just went to the freezer and pulled out one of those awesome Bunny ice cream things (they are really good) and come in here and sat down. As I was opening the package I hear an incredibly loud BOOM!!!! I'm talking gunshot loud!
I'm the only one awake and I'm in the studio. I don't make it a habit to carry my gun (Glock .45 if you are curious lol) into the office to shoot and edit videos, but I sure wish I had. It's across the house in another room. So I pull out my knife, my only weapon at the time and I'm ready to kill someone. But something wasn't right. This sound came from INSIDE my house. My 140lb Doberman 'Gunny" is laying in his bed in the living room, and he is not barking and trying to kill someone. So this is odd.
Knife in hand, my thoughts (other than it's weird my dog isn't barking and killing someone) are to get across the house and get my little 230 grain buddy. I go to walk out of the office and there was a fold up plastic table on the floor outside my office. This wasn't here when I came in with my ice cream. That is when it hit me, It was this 20lb flat table falling over onto a flat floor. Every banged two pieces of flat wood together? Yea, make that sound louder and deeper (enough to create a concussion you can feel) and that is the sound that I heard.
Turns out when we put the table in its place, we didn't check to see if it was balanced lol. If I would have been in bed asleep (where I should be right now BTW), you want to talk about a tactical clearing of my house. Nothing like clearing out your own house looking for someone suspicious....
So yea, I'm awake now...
