This needs to be unpacked a bit...with some poor charcoal management.
I went out to fire up the charcoal grill, put some charcoal in the chimney, crumpled up half a paper bag underneath it, lit it on fire, came back 15 minutes later expecting hot coals, and there was nothing. Looked at the bottom, it all looked fine. So I set it on a shelf next to the house so it would be under cover if it rained and I could use it again.A half an hour later, my wife said "what's that sound?" That sound was the crackling of my house burning.This needs to be unpacked a bit...with some poor charcoal management.

Happy everyone is ok.......So, I was sort of thinking about not mentioning this since it's embarrassing, but last night I burned the back side of my house pretty bad with some poor charcoal management. Had three fire departments respond, I was *really* lucky that the fire didn't get into the attic. I got to put a fire out with a garden hose then watch the fire guys tear my house apart looking for something smoldering.
One of my upstairs renters looked outside to a wall of fire and called 911. This is roughly the same point in time I realized my house was on fire, and ran out back to get the garden hose (which was luckily just far enough from the fire to not get burned/melted), put the fire out downstairs, then went up on the deck to put it out upstairs. He's a little melodramatic, and apparently told the dispatcher that the entire house was engulfed in flames, because the 911 dispatcher was very forceful to him that we needed to evacuate the house. I told him to piss off, and went into the attic to see if there was any fire up there. Apparently my first reaction when my house is on fire isn't to take instruction from people trying to help, it's to put some damn water on the fire so my house doesn't burn down.
So, the message the firefighters get from dispatch (after talking to the chief for a while) is "fully involved housefire, four occupants refusing to vacate."
The whole friggin' cavalry showed up. At one point in time I think I had nine emergency vehicles from three departments around my house. Which, by the way, is not on fire anymore. They had their little heat sensing camera that could tell where any hot spots were, so they beat out some holes in the ceiling/wall, tramped around the house, then we had to wait an hour for the fire investigator to show up and make a report.
The really embarrassing part is that my dad just retired after 35 years in a local fire department, I called him to see what was going on, so he puts on his "retired firefighter" coat and comes out - which I wanted him to do, but I gave him #### for the wardrobe change before he came over. He's going to give me #### for setting my house on fire for years.
Everything's fine, everybody's ok, my roof is still on, and I'm probably not going to get to that first batch of beer brewing on Thursday like I'd hoped.

I found out tonight that this guy is friends with about 10 people I went to HS with. Considering my graduating class had 218 people in it, that is kind of weird. The really neat part is that his best friend is a guy I used to smoke the demon weed with. He said they are over at their house all the time. Things are coming together nicely. :rubshandstogether:I just made my first friend in the new hood. He told me how much he LOVES drinking LOTS of beer and has not one but two taps in his new custom made bar in the basement. Not only that, he was feeding me beers out of his car hole fridge and kept saying "don't worry, I'll get you back." Met a couple other guys too. Things are looking up.![]()

Glad I checked in here tonight.If only there were a thread around here with book recommendations.'General Malaise said:DaVinci Code was a huge hit once. I hated that book. Didn't even finish. Tried books on tape once on a long car trip. Couldn't finish it. Made it half way through the rental DVD and fell asleep. Going to go read some fantasy baseball columns.'Marvin said:Hunger Games is a pretty good Young Adult book. I would have a hard time recommending it to an adult male. I haven't read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.Shuke and I invented "Hunger Games". We should get partial credit here.Is Hunger Games any good? Is it better than "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"? That's the last fiction book I read and it was goodish...not blown away.The Hunger Games thread is pretty damn entertaining. Apparently lots of people who don't read like making fun of the people who do read because of what they read. Sort of like high school, only with beer bellies and magic football.![]()

Black people who work for tips sometimes act this way. I had this conversation with a couple of different, black co-workers when I waited tables. By the time the 3rd one started a conversation like that, I just went with it: "Yeah, black people are the worst..." She didn't catch on.'Samuel L Bronkowitz said:Last week for St Pattys Day, there were was an "uprising" at the bars downtown and the cops forced everything to close around midnight. There used to be a festival called Riversplash where a 10 block radius would be shut down for concerts and other festival fare, but 3 years ago some people brought guns and started shooting, causing a bit of a riot. That festival has since been shut down.SO I get in the cab tonight to get home and I have a black driver. His first words were "I'm so happy you're white. I hate black people"He continues "Don't get me wrong, I love my people but they always have to cause #### that costs me money. You know what I'm saying?"
"The ####### blacks caused Riversplash to shut down when they came in shooting for no reason. They ####### got St Patricks Day shut down by starting fights. I hate when they come out to the bars!"
I wasn't sure where to go but just said "Yeah man, I understand why your frustrated. You lost a lot of fares"
Then he started talking about Uganda and Idi Amin. 20 minutes later I got home. I don't think I've ever had a more uncomfortable cab ride in my life. Even worse than when TRE started talking soccer with the Ghanan fellow.

She's pretty selfish if you ask me.I met a couple of other neighbors Saturday night (think I texted? :unsure) and they are transplants from Nashville. (Mr & Mrs. K4, hi!) They have a couple of kids the youngest being a daughter the same age as Dylan so they will be attending school together. Anyhow, they are low 40's as well and they wife, we'll call her Mary Beth Joe Sue, is really cute. Then throw on top of it that she still has her southern accent and oh wow oh wow oh wow. They asked why we moved and I told her the deal with Cal not being allowed back at the private school and she made this ooohhh+ :( face. I thought my pants were going to burst into flames.
Mrs. SLB texted me this morning while I was walking that Mary Beth Joe Sue just happened to walk into the gym as the same time as her and they were working out together. I texted back "pics?". Mrs. SLB's reply was less than lady like. <_<
