apparently action news today, the house behind me is burning down....

[bracconiere]

so i got from an afternoon nap, hear pop and stuff, think some heavy equipment is working.


go out back, aparently the house behind me is burning down.

the stupid tqeaker next door said he was too cheap to spend $5 on taking his yard waste to the dump, and he was going to start burning it....conicence maybe...but that's my likely suspect at the moment....

 

[Snark_Wolf_Brewing]

Does seem to be a plausible sequence of events.

 

[bracconiere]

wow is right! this is the first time i've been this close to house burning down!

 

[Garfield43]

They make a lot of heat.
House next to my parents house burnt and the heat messed up their paint and shingles.
It took a while to show up and once it did it was too late for an insurance claim.

Can't he just hook it up and tow it away from danger?

 

[Snuffy]

If you ever took a day off work cause they were delivering your house, you might be a redneck.

 

[bracconiere]

Can't he just hook it up and tow it away from danger?

it's a double wide! so i'd need to schedule a couple trucks and it'd take too long.....i think they have it out now....


from the sound of their efforts i think they were using flame throwers to fight fire with fire....

Neighbor's place look like this?....

Neighbor's place look like this?....

no he's got the bad teeth and skinny frame...acts "energetic", think he's more of a ass kisser then a cook..maybe dealer, surprised a tweaker could afford to 'buy' a house...


but it's still just coincadence....(and i saw the sheriff over there talking to him...)


sorry for my typing, i'm still trying to figure out how to react?

 

[Snark_Wolf_Brewing]

Bad teeth, skinny, "energetic"....Yeah, he sounds like a tweaker alright.

 

[bracconiere]

"energetic"

reminds me of dear blessed departed mother, who was a staunch never use drugs person....once saying all excitedly, "well, he sure was energetic" after buying some stuff from him...i just hung my head, and thought...yeah he was high on crack or meth...

 

[bracconiere]

well i think the fire's out now...anyone know how to donate to their local fire dept?

 

[day_trippr]

"Their"? Wouldn't that be "your"? How far away were they?

 

[bracconiere]

"Their"? Wouldn't that be "your"? How far away were they?

no it'd be our's! i doubt i could cover the cost all on my own for this operation!

and them flames were big! i wasn't sure if should post in you know you're a homebrewer, and go out back to drink a homebrew...lots of other people were driving by as looky'loo's to check it out, but i thought it would be inapprpriate....

 

[day_trippr]

Maybe you could brew up a commemorative beer and bring the local fire squad a case or two?

Cheers!

i don't want to be insulting! lol

i live a weird life, the IRS swears they owe me money, i tell them "huh? no you don't i assure you?"....then like i want to "volentarily" chip in on the new road they paved, or even more so keeping my house from burning down.


i swear, i try not to act like a spoiled punk brat!

 

[bracconiere]

Works out the tweaker didn't cause this fire. it was an elderly couple, and news headline says it started in their house....but here's what i was looking at...

 

[Dr_Jeff]

In that picture, you can see flames coming out of the window, starting to come through the center of the roof, and it looks like a camper or something is on fire as well.

That's terrible for them, hopefully their home owners insurance was adequate and will cover their entire loss. Insurance is good thing to have, but there are always things that insurance can't replace.

 

[bracconiere]

Insurance is good thing to have

hopefully they did....

 

[Garfield43]

I feel for anyone who has their house burn.
It happened to me and through an interesting set of circumstances the insurance company was able to give me the Willy Wonka treatment.

Except they weren't particularly upset by it.

 

[Pkrd]

Obviously someone wasn't raking their leaves enough.

Just don't bring them a rauchbier. Talk about a faux pas.

 

[bracconiere]

i got told apparently their oxygen tank blew up....3 dogs died, but thankfully they managed to crawl out in time.....

 

[day_trippr]

God must have a special place for emphysema patients on O2 therapy that keep smoking...

 

[bracconiere]

i'm not sure why when i got this alert this is on youtube...

 

[day_trippr]

lmao! There's nothing completely whacked out about that, right?

 

[bracconiere]

shsshhh, we don't want them to know, we know their watching us, watching them!

i find a slow trickle of homebrew works better for the brain then a hat....just as long as it's not too much to where it's flammable....
