My son is going to be an arsonist

An entire gallon of gasoline poured onto a pile of leaves will create a mushroom cloud and singe the eyebrows off of your friend that you talked into lighting it. It will also still make you laugh at the memory nearly 50 years later.

I have a friend like that! One time during winter and with everything covered in snow, we got the idea to pour a trail of gasoline across the front yard and light it. Well, of course gasoline is lighter than water, and as the flames melted the snow, the gasoline began to spread across the yard on top of the melting snow. It took some pretty frantic stomping to get that one out!

A trash bag full of propane/oxygen weighed down with a can of spray paint and then tossed into the burn pit makes a big boom, or so I've been told.

I like how the first thing he does after coming to terms with what happened, was to look for the wife, or that’s at least what I would have been doing

That's what I was thinking! "Honey, come look at this!"

I would be thinking oh poop I’m gonna hear about this!

I would be thinking oh poop I’m gonna hear about this!

That's why it's best to get out ahead of it and self-report.

With the cost of gas these days, it's a great way to stretch out your burn radius.

So I can sell it to her that by saving diesel we are keeping goods moving and the economy going.

The fires been burning for over an hour and he won’t leave it alone. I’m starting to get concerned…

Looks like he doesn't have his nose stuck to a computer screen.
He's not sitting around playing a video game.
He's not watching tell-a-vision.

Keep up the good work!
