I doubt anyone will be too surprised to find out that we're actually not allowed to burn leaves or brush where I live, and I would never knowingly break the law. The tale was streatched a little where I told about the brush. Well, and the fire and the tree and the gas and, well, pretty much everything else (except the chipper).

Glad to folks enjoyed it.

Well LOL, and I am glad your OK.

I had a similar experience with my brush pile and a neighbor. I had been working all day on it, lots of earth and green branches. So it was a slow smolder at best. The neighbor comes over and asks if he can dump some old gasoline on it.

Silly me, I said sure.

Well. not only does he have 2-gallon containers, but he has a 5-gallon container too.

Silly me, I am NOT paying attention. I tell him to go to the other end, where it is NOT burning, and pour it there.

Silly me, kaboom! Much yelling. Cursing, arm movement, jumping. Yep, poured it right on.

I tell him, ahhhhh, PLEASE don't do that again. Kindof pissed now, but polite. Darn foolish ya' know.

Well things settle down again, and like a frigging BOMB goes off.
Knocks me on MY BUTT.

I live by a military base, so the concussion and sound were like, someone missed.

You guessed it. The five gallon made it to the fire.

So at the house, the wife inquires as to the blast, noting that the military boys only shot once.

Yep, I say. Must hit what they were aiming for.

Needeless to say, my piles are no longer free dump events.

Sigh.
