I started my front yard on fire.

Last weekend I was grinding a weld on a bumper I am building, and apparently a hot piece of metal landed in the grass in my yard. Here in Chicago we have had exactly no rain in forever, so it was pretty dry. I was just dumb.

I didn't actually see the fire right away. I smelled it burning first. I burned 2 patches about 5' and 3' around. whoops.

And on the 4th, I started a patch of the park behind my house on fire too. You would think I would learn. I lit an aerial that was supposed to go about 200' up, and it only went about 20 inches and blew up on the ground, and lit a good 50' square patch of grass on fire. I put it out with the extinguisher I have for just such an occasion. Unfortunately, I didn't have another, so that ened my 4th celebration. I ended up destroying the rest of my fireworks, as I only use them on the 4th, and I am not gonna keep them sitting around for a year. It is too dangerous.

If there is a demand for them, I'll put up pics later.

fixed keyboard screwups
 
It rained yesterday for a bit, but yeah we haven't had much rain in a long ass time. My grass is dead. :/
 
sorry, but that just fvcking rocks

oh wait, I mean, you might as well make your front yard rocks, because it's probably cheaper than rehabilitating your lawn
<- 250 miles west w/ brown patches in the yard
 
I do all my fireworks on a big plank of wood I take out of my garage for special occasions. That way nothing catches on fire. 😛
