I love a good bonfire.
Especially on Fall nights, when it's juuuust starting to be cold.
Had one last year over at a buddy's house.  It was nice.  Got to tell some scary stories.  Good stuff.

One of these days I'll just have a nice little bonfire, the kind you don't need a permit for and you can relax to. One of these days...

Did you toast the kitty yet? That's some hot pussy.
(i hope you didn't, i like kitties. I gave a dead one on the side of a road a funeral and every day I and some other passerby -- maybe a coworker -- put dandelions or other flowers over it while it rotted away)

So I didn't get any pics of when the fire was in full blaze because I was so concerned about making sure the flames weren't licking any of the nearby trees, but those flames stood 15–20 feet tall and it was impressive. Good, relaxing fire the rest of the night.

Did get a picture after it had simmered down and we had thrown a bunch of the logs on just before cookin' da weeniez.



Here's how it looked at 6 a.m.



And this was just a couple hours ago:



This'll be a slow roast. Might put some twigs and stuff in there to get some flames going, but I think the coals will get the wood burning pretty well, though very slowly.

Good fire, awesome night, amazing company.




And the cat's OK but sleepy.

I've had A few Bonfires before.Me and some friends always sung funny little folk songs or make up some. We always ask each other "what would you do" questions,then usually we would wireless play with our DS's. Only problem? Weeds started growing around my yard and I'm not much of a gardener. Ultimately and unfortunately we set fire to my yard and well... I wasn't allowed to have bonfires,campfires,or anything like that anymore.I did this for four years 12-16.

Of course since we had a hose there was no damage besides my yard becoming a desert.

Dang made a mistake

:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O

A desertous yard sounds totally bogue. How long'd it take for the grass and all to grow back?

Speakin'a bonfire mishaps...

When we were 18 or something, a buddy of mine had a fire at his place and after a while started dicking around with the gas can. (This was after he was playing with a sword he had bought, trying to throw it like Conan into a tree. He thought about dousing it in gasoline and then throwing a flame sword around, and he was serious about it, but I told him no.) He kept making these little gas trails and then lighting them on fire. It was pretty fun. But then one time he did it reversed: he slung gas at the fire, and it trailed all the way back into the can.

Thinking the can would explode (this ain't the movies, dude), he panicked and chucked the thing—only in his panic, he accidentally threw it toward the house, and it fell in a window well. The whole gas can was a fireball at this point, and the only way we could think (without having a fire extinguisher around) to not set the house ablaze was to create a constant water barrier between the house and can using the hose; there was maybe a foot of space distancing the two.

It did the job and the can burned out after a few minutes and all was saved. His dad wasn't home so we didn't get our asses beat, but a year or two later while washing dishes, the dishwasher caught fire and burned the whole kitchen down, so he eventually burned down the house anyway.

 ;DWe saw the first few patches of grass 5 months after which is actually this month.
