At least you didn't set up and then forget that the sprinklers were due to come on at about the same time!!! This happened to me with my Lightbridge, I had only used it once but I still hadn't managed to get the red dot finder aligned to the scope. I had been playing around with the screws on the finder when the sprinklers came on!!!! I had to quickly grab the scope and practically 'run' inside (and Lightbridges are not 'light'!!) before it got wet! Worse still, I had managed to put the base right ON TOP of one of the sprinklers!! (reticulation ones that are buried beneath the lawn). Luckily, I was able to get it all inside with only minimal water on the bottom of the base.

Maybe you should get a Lightbridge - no computers that can malfunction and no drives lol.
