And It Went Thump!


I need to get my software loaded for my camera....I miss posting pictures...but I had a funny one yesterday....you guys know I bought the T150 crawler for demo work...so there I am, pushing down a 100 year old brick home and walking down the pile for a controlled burn...and while I was at the top, maybe 5 feet above grade, I felt the thump and dropped maybe a foot, all at once. The floor gave in.....good thing it wasn't a basement.

Re: And It Went Thump!


I just had a call from the fire chief....we set the house on fire (not the brick) about 3 pm this afternoon....in a pouring rain....so the burn goes well...at 5 or so, I push up the pile a little and leave....and so the chief tells me that the owners thought the fire died down too much...went around and threw wood on the still glowing ember pile and tossed a gas on it!

Stupid comes in all shapes and sizes I guess....this clown is lucky he is alive....the chief said he was being chased by a trail of fire after he tossed the gas and ran, carrying the can with him......lucky, lucky, lucky!
