Burning Ring of Fire!

Thunderstorms here twice in the last week...lots of limbs down. Power out for 4 days between the 2 storms.

Cut the limbs up and made a pile.
Today...no wind...green grass...perfect for burning the pile.

Had about a quart of drain oil, which I mixed about a quart of gasoline with it. The limbs hadn't dried good, so I knew I needed some help getting it started.

The pile was over head high. I stuffed some paper in the bottom and poured the mixture over the whole works....and lit a match.....

My mistake was waiting too long to strike the match...the fumes spread out way beyond the pile.

90 degrees out...I was wearing shorts. I no longer have leg hair!
Other than that...I'm fine.
