The vacboom, I mean vacuum was destroyed? I hope she wasn't hurt. I think ole hakaman is going to use a whisk broom, gently.

Yeah she was fine. The vacuum let it's smoke out and never worked again.

I finally got around to cleaning the "shop area" downstairs with my vacuum and it was without incident. No mushroom clouds, kabooms, or even sparks. So the OM can stop worrying, I'm still here. I think I had more spent primers by weight, then spilled powder. The RCBS primer catcher probably drops 3 out of 10 primers on the floor when de-priming. Anyways, all's clean down in the shop.

You could always try beating the floor with a hammer to make sure they don't explode in the vac.

That's what I'd do.

Kind of like a low-tech minesweeper - Eh?

Crude but effective.

I just do a little welding job and all those unspent primers on the floor make their presence known. Like a bunch of lady fingers going off.
