Narrative

I WAS SWITCHING FROM ZERO WASHER TO NO 1 SETTLER, WHEN THE FLOW DROPPED OFF AND THE FLANGE HAD STOPPED LEAKING OUT. ONCE IT STOPPED, I CLIMBED BETWEEN THE SUPPORT BEAMS OF THE SETTLER SUPPORT BRIDGE TO SEE WHAT SIZE FLANGE IT WAS. AS I WAS CLOSE TO THE FLANGE, A BURST OF LIQUOR CAME FLOWING THROUGH CAUSING IT TO SPRAY OUT BETWEEN THE TWO FLANGES.
