While embibing a sweetened carbonated beverage, I will attempt the possible reaquisition of my disposable adhesive bandage from the interior of my temporarily hired automotive vehicular device.
Pray that I don't choke on it.

An interesting discussion of "try and" as opposed to "try to" at the alt-usage-english site. Of particular interest is this note: WDEU suggests that "try and" may actually be older than "try to"; both are first attested in the 17th century.
