Fire therapy

Steve – one of the most satisfying things I did was sell just about everything I owned when I moved to Texas. I had an 11 room house stuffed full of stuff. Some of that stuff, like yours, had not seen the light of day in years. I auctioned it all off. Had an auctioneer come out, had a drinks stand, etc. I made some money from the sale. But it was strangely satisfying to get rid of all that extra stuff.

We keep threatning to have a yard sale but I can’t get the wife to follow through with it, we are being buried by stuff we haven’t used for years. Clothes that are out of style, and no longer fit. She keeps saying I need to get rid of some of my tools, but thats where I draw the line.

HMMMMMM…........FIRE GOOD! I really like burning things when I can. We have a shreder for papers, but I usually just build a good pile and then go build a fire.

There have been some that say that the best way to tell how good a fireman is at putting fires out is best seen how well they build them.

Can I come throw some of my (wife’s) stuff on the fire??? :-)

Steve,

I too have had to make similar choices…

BUT, the good ole days of burning, here, is illegal… we can’t burn anything… NOTHING… except in our inside fireplace!

In order to clear out our garage to make room for Walking through it, a small collection of tools, chests, etc., I had to throw away some really GOOD stuff… Teletype equipment that should have gone to a museum some where… Lots of electronic stuff (aka junk boxes)... As a result, we still have alot of GOOD STUFF that we haven’t used in years, but can’t see it going to junk yard… EBay selling is another choice… it takes time & effort…

I do have a small collection of tools… that I have fun using… alot of moving this to get there, etc…. BUT it’s fun overall although frustrating at times.

I do know what you mean…

Hey, now… just WHEN did you burn that stuff?
It seems there was a huge fire up there recently…
How did it start? :) :D

I used to drive by the gas station and think, “Geez, Diesel fuel is getting expensive.” Then, without regard to cost, I’m pouring that magic diesel fire starter on a pile of junk with a propane torch in my hand… laughing out loud… like Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movie…. lol…

The more I burned, the better I felt… Sometimes the cost of fuel just doesn’t matter…. lol

Can I send some of my fuel for your fire?

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Steve, I too am in a no burn zone worse luck. No more bon-fires on cracker night, in fact no more crackers or penny bungers worse luck. Nothing like a good camp fire to sit & watch the stars & sink a beer or two. LOL

If only you had a vehicle that could have burned that stuff.
We need cars that will run on garbage.
