I was flame weeding next to a garden bed adjacent to my house and accidentally caught some dried thyme that was growing all around the perimeter. Easily a 20 foot ring. It went from 0 to 60 in seconds. Like if you’ve ever lit a dry Christmas tree it was like that. I ran and got the hose which was luckily only 30 feet away, but not hooked up, so I had to hook it up and turn it on which when you are flooded with stress hormones is really fucking hard.
I and was able to put it out but it was really fucking scary. My hands are still shaking 10 mins later from the adrenaline.
I am proud of myself for staying calm and focused and doing what had to be done in the moment but uh… Holy shit comrades
Ride on mowers cost as much as a car where I live. Did y’all buy a second hand one?
Edit: I fucking hate lawns :3
I don’t think it was second hand but this was 10+ years ago and we had already had that mower for like 20 years at that point.
