Ah, yes...the wonderful aroma of burnt facial hair. I know it well.
Such tales are always funny after the fact...assuming that you live to tell the tale. I empathize with accidents around the home involving fire and explosions. Over the years I've lost all or part of each side of my stache -- and I once managed to burn out the middle with a leaky cigarette lighter aided by a sudden gust of wind. To date I've managed to escape with but one minor singeing of the chin hair cultivated for nearly a year now. It grows so fast, and I hate trimming it so much, that I'm thinking of shaving it off before it too goes "whuff."

By some miracle I'm getting my hot water without having to exchange any propane tanks! I'm getting plenty of WHUFFFS when I exchange the propane tank on my BBQ, especially when I
light the damn thing, often with results not unlike yours. Not in winter, of course, which is a good thing! WHUFFFS are strictly a summer phenomenon...

Re: northsage_45
Wileyone,
The gas nut got chewed up when I was away visiting my brother in New Mexico, for eight days. Marilyn had lost my 7/8 " wrench, and while I was in NM, I bought another and that one got left behind, upon my return. My brother couldn't be bothered to send it until weeks had gone by, so I went and bought a THIRD wrench. At any rate, the damage had already been done by Marilyn and Donnie by then. I'm also glad that I didn't become a crispy critter, burns are bad business. Been there, done that, and bought the tee shirt, too! Don't recommend it. Skin grafts are no fun at all!

Hey dude ya shoulda called me, I got that propane too but I make sure of things like not lighting it under conditions like that. Of course being a mechanic all my life I never woulda used vice grips on those brass fittings mate. LOL Kidding aside, I'm happy you're still here to blog with us and a darn good blog too.

I don't know why but somehow the reading about our sage being cindered
is very funny. It is brilliantly written but even so the thought still persists, (giggle snicker giggle)
