lock picker

in the spirit of always following a negative blog posting with something positive, tonight, i'll share the story of how i locked myself out of my bathroom last night.

i had canine company. luna and ruk joined me with t-bone in toe to watch the steelers-pats game. tecalli is a known trouble maker, so i decided to limit his trouble making options by closing the doors upstairs. smart move in theory, but it does help to be able to regain access to said rooms after the doors have been shut.

while closing the bathroom door, i inadvertantly locked the door and then shut it. when ruk and greg left, i went to open up the upstairs rooms and found the bathroom door to be locked shut.

damn.

time to the pick the lock.

i'm an inexperienced lock-picker however 1 paper clip was all it took. Within a few minutes i had the door open.

lesson learned - one paper clip can take you a long way.
