10,000 Uses Week 42: Reveling Round Up<\/h4>\n

The Fourth of July gathering was a hoot despite landing in the middle of the week. Since we cleaned up the Bar-B-Que and the Outdoor Furniture recently (at our previous advice), we gathered with the clan to demolish Brats and Micro-brews. Then, at sunset, the grand tradition of burning up ridiculous amounts of cash in the form of fireworks. Woo-Hoo!<\/p>\n

Pop always taught me to keep a big bucket of water handy in which to dispose of the still hot, spent Safe & Sane’s. This is truly good advice as evidenced by my neighbor’s trash can fire a couple years back. It also comes in handy now that my own spawn have grown up and have gotten more \u201ccreative\u201d with the combustibles.<\/p>\n

On this particular Independence holiday, our ground based display culminated on what could only be described as a fireworks funeral pyre. Perhaps neither safe nor sane truth be told. For some reason yer pal Chuck was expected to act the part of responsible adult <\/i>(weird, right?). So as the pyre dwindled it was brought to a close via a buck full of water and soppy spent fireworks.<\/p>\n

This was ugly and maybe not the best way to have handled the situation. What a freaking MESS!<\/p>\n

Fortunately, clean up is something I’ve become rather adept at. Most of the pyro-mess was gathered up quickly with a large dustpan and a One Pass Floorblade<\/a>. Certainly wouldn’t have wanted to saturate a bristle broom with that goo. Now blacktop isn’t the smoothest of surfaces, but certainly what was left behind would be handled by Hollister’s prevailing wind.<\/p>\n

Now back to the Micro-brews!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS. Yes, we clearly staged this pic with left over debris. Certain people couldn’t be trusted with a camera at the time. Thanks for noticing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
