Default I must have the worst luck ever!

OK last night just before bed the Mrs asked me to get her a couple of pints from the kegerator to put in the slow cooker with the corned beef for tonight (St Pats Day). So I grabbed a pitcher and about two ounces into it I get that Whoosh of CO2 that is the bane of every home tapper, yep I blew empty. Now normally this wouldn't be that big a deal, I can call my keg guy and have another the next day, but, this keg blew after his closing hours and he needs 24 hour notice to get a keg from the distributor. So I'm on bottles for St Pats Day. But wait it gets even worse. The distributor don't deliver on Saturdays or Sundays, so I wont have a new keg till Monday night after I get off work, which once I install it, clean my lines and give it time to rest, now were talking no tap beer till Tuesday! [?]Scott, whats the status of that strip y'all were workin on for estimating beer left in a keg?[?] I would chalk it up to that old "Luck of the Irish" thing and all but I aint Irish! Besides I never understood the luck of the Irish thing anyway, after all if they were lucky, they wouldn't be Irish to begin with...
