I know, hydrometers are apparently suicidal. It's just a thing. But I've had mine for over 8 years. I've broken like 5 sample cylinders (both glass and plastic), but my hydrometer had survived all those years.
Just last Friday, as it was on the dish mat drying, a cord bumped a small cutting board which fell into a metal tumbler which toppled over and just snapped the tip off my beloved hydrometer.
Also no homebrew ready for drinking, no beer in the fridge, so had a couple glasses of wine earlier and now sipping a double Wild Turkey 101 on rocks. Sad day. Sad week. Sad year. actually sad past few years but still alive and brewing so I got that going for me. Jobless in two days and looking forward to a break to reset before finding my next path.
