"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?" I would like to add that; "what doesn't kill you also makes you and your friends laugh really hard once you make sure no one has lost an eye (or started a forest fire)."<br /><br />Tayet - Thanks! I will check it out.<br /><br />Carolyn - I know the Commander knows better, he is always lecturing me about his previous shipboard and flight deck fire fighting experience. He told me that he knew better than to trust a day when the wind was calm as it is more likely to change than a soft steady breeze.<br /><br />Teresa - He heard about it! I think the tree will live, but I am going to have to wait until Spring to be sure.Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353764878995672966.post-10155806455480070542012-02-09T12:27:52.596-08:002012-02-09T12:27:52.596-08:00Poor tree.

We're on the local volunteer FD and see things like this happen ALL the time, sometimes with much worse results. Even with the "perfect" weather, which seems like your DH was good about picking, the weather does not always stay the same for our needs.<br /><br />Glad you got nothing more than a scorched tree.....and a story to tell!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353764878995672966.post-51527466126278298522012-02-09T06:38:37.330-08:002012-02-09T06:38:37.330-08:00You've got an award!
