R U an RV Mutant too?

[Possum]

Nice thing about propane fires is when you are finished with it you just turn off the gas. There is no need for someone to babysit the thing being all worried about forest fires.

I have plans and sometimes this winter I will attempt to put one together that is worthy of the mutants. It will be about 30" in diameter and about 6" deep. Two fire tubes within and all covered in crushed glass for gas dispersion.

The first person to light it will be one of those who routinely says, "Hey hold me beers and watch dis?"

I nominate Wayne or Les.

Lucky he didn't catch his clothes on fire! Stupid is as stupid does!

Oh My gosh! NO NO NO

I had a burn patient once whose husband used gasoline to clean his greasy work clothes. He lit a cigarette while watching her put them into the washer.

Her burns were so bad he divorced her. She was still in hospital.

And that's my early Halloween horror story.

And that would be "gas" and not "glass" dispersion??? One hopes!

Well.... here's a true story my brother told me. Talk about STUPID!

This guy was cleaning some engine parts, using a little diesel fuel he had in a cup. He was using a rag, dipping it, wiping grease off stuff, etc. He had moved everything in to the den from the patio because it had started raining. His DW complained and he promised to move everything out right away. He was finished, anyhow.

He goes into the bathroom, tosses the remaining diesel fuel into the toilet. His phone rings and he goes to answer it. Returns a few minutes later, smoking a cigarette, and sits down on the john. Another couple of minutes and he leans over to the side and drops the still-lit cigarette into the john...right onto diesel floating on water. BAH-BOOM!

As he lay moaning on the bathroom floor, he begged his wife not to call an ambulance. He knew he would have to explain what happened. She called. He explained while the paramedics were picking him up to put him on the gurney. He didn't make it on to their gurney right away ... they laughed so hard they dropped him on the floor. He cracked a hip.

He eventually made it to the hospital with severe burns on his backside and a cracked hip on his inside.

Talk about stupid!

She's better off without that stupid imbecile! I say good riddance. He made the 2 mistakes that changed her life in a flash, pun intended.

Speaking of greasy work clothes. The laundromat that we used yesterday had designated machines for greasy clothes. It's the first time I've seen this. There are oilfields nearby, so it just made sense. I knew I wasn't washing after a "greaser" as they called them.

This is not a horror story but truly a scary one for us at the time. Being a Scoutmaster for many years I never was slow to warn boys of the danger of fire. At a large camporee where our troop was host I commandeered a couple of bright leaders to aid the boys in preparing a LARGE bonfire for the opening ceremony. After prepping the wood all in place the leaders took over, so the lighting would be a surprise to everyone.

What these leaders did was position a jet igniter used for small rockets in the middle of the wood and surrounded with some diesel soaked rags and pine knot chips. They had even tried this out at home to make sure it worked!

I was the master of ceremony so after some welcomes and announcements I said what this camporee needs is a campfire, that was the signal to the leaders to ignite the fire when I pointed at the wood fire. I pointed, no fire, I pointed with both hands, no fire! Looking over at my leaders I could tell something had come disconnected and not starting. After a little joke about getting older and out of practice I ask one of the leaders to walk over and possibly start the fire. It's all funny now but wasn't at the time. In reality most never knew it wasn't planned that was.

Do you still have an instrument to carry? My uke is long gone, unfortunately, but I have several other portable things to play ... all of them poorly. Even the spoons!

Would love to hoedown by the fire! I keep waiting for all those mutant P&Gs (pickers and grinners) to step up and admit it. A caller would be helpful, too.

Anybody???

Sue it sounds like fun and normally I'd be amped up and getting down but unable to pertisipate now. Recently signed on with RCA.







I only have to buy one album a month and can cancel anytime!
