Flat lander...that's what us hill folk call um
On the coast too. The guys from not that far inland, that live in and around the high country are fresh water folks.
Prairie folk can be known as ............. "stubble jumpers"
That's at a horse farm in Ocala Florida. Big time, high dollar horse country down there. Triple crown winners are bred in Ocala or go there to stud. I don't know how many hundred thousand acres this farm is. The second picture is their test track or I should say one of them. The top picture is from one of the dozens of barns there over the fence. I talk about that old petrified deadwood from the southern live oak I make scales out of. If you're not from the southeast or gulf coast that may not mean much to you but those trees over the fence are southern live oaks. They are a really majestic tree and just about the only thing left standing after a hurricane even up to category 4. That's how they can get to be 1500 years old.

sunburn???????
Gasoline vapors exploded. Second degree burns on left leg/arm. This pic is a couple of minutes after the blistered skin was scrubbed off by a nurse. Worse pain I have never experienced.
Using gas, to light a fire.?

Threw some gas on some wood in the firepit then stood back for a bit. Went to light it and KABOOM! So yeah, that was me being extremely stupid. Blisters big as tennis balls. Head got singed with 1st degree burns, leg and arm 2nd degree. I wear a SPF sleeve most days and just got a hat that reminds me of Indiana Jones to keep weather off my head as well as blocking sun.
Yeah, I gave myself the hot foot like that one time. Had a pile of brush I was trying to start and poured some gasoline on it and then stood back aways and threw a match. I wasn't really thinking about the fact that gas fumes are heavier than the air and travel along the ground. Of course I was barefoot. Fortunately it was only a slosh and not a drenching otherwise I would have been in the same boat that you are.
Edit: I wish I could have seen the dance I did. Probably could have used it as an audition for river dance.
Im just gonna shake my head at ya Slim. Someone told me that magic liquid is dangerous.
I know. I was ashamed of myself as soon as it happened. Waited most of a day before going to urgent care. It took my wife seeing the huge blisters to get me to go. I figured I had earned the blisters and pain with my stupidity.
I can sympathize. It looks not so bad in the picture I posted just previous (right after yours) but if you look closely you can see the line where my finger was split in half from the tip to just past the first joint. One moment can change your life forever.
I should archive these last few posts so I can show them to the idiots at a campsite I visit who kept shooting lighter fluid into a campfire to get it going larger. My wife and cringed, put the dogs on a short leash and moved back several steps each time they did it.
They wouldn’t listen to our warnings because as older folks, I guess we had little credibility. They were lucky nothing bad happened. I just hope they didn’t get overly confident and will try it again. Their odds diminish with repeated stupid acts.

Made that candle out of pvc pipe, expanding foam insulation, an extension cord, light socket, bulb, and red paint.

With thirteen lunar cycles in a year it has to make you wonder what were they thinking when creating the 12 month calendar.
Maybe the same reason elevators didn’t use to have a 13th floor?
Yep, the Atlanta Hilton and Towers skips over the floor entirely. There is an atrium on the 12th floor 2 stories high. It's not that the architect or builders are superstitious. It's that people won't stay in the rooms because they are.
Think the Mayans had it right, they just didn’t plot out enough calendars.
Har.
I think they said, "Nah, by that time everyone will be so screwed up we don't want anything to do with them..":rofl2:
