Default Radiator Hose-that was close!

I took the car around the block a few times to get some data for my IAT and ECT compensation. I was sitting in the driveway, engine running, and looking at my laptop. All of the sudden I hear PSHHHHHH and see steam. So I shut the engine off. My top radiator hose had burst. I'm so lucky this didn't happen on the road. I was using my old hoses because I was thinking of ordering silicone hoses. I guess I'm off to get some replacements.

BTW, coolant temps never went above 200*
