Fun Birthday

Sunday was my birthday. I had a load of things I needed to pick up from my house in NC, so that's what I spent the entire day Sunday doing.

Oh, someone above must have been looking out for me....I borrowed this storage rack from my brother-in-law, the kind that attaches to the receiving hitch, needed the extra space for all my junk. I tied down a big rubbermaid tub of cleaning supplies, aerosol cans and such, and beside that is the propane tank for my grill. What I didn't know was that my exhaust comes straight out the back and was busy heating up that tub of flammable & explosive items. When I got home and tried to get the tub off of the rack...I couldn't. The bottom was melted onto the rack!! I pulled the top off and started pulling stuff out...everything was HOT! Plastic bottles had started to warp, one had a hole and was dripping all onto the garage floor. I finally manged to empty the tub and pulled it loose. Now I'll need to scrape the melted plastic off of it before returning it, but at least I didn't create a fireball on the back of my truck!

My birthday wasn't all bad...my brother-in-law did cook me up a nice steak dinner to enjoy at the end of my rough day.
