#SecondSunday #Charleston #creepin (at 2nd Sunday on King St)

See that thing that looks like a tiny ladder? Well it's actually a large ladder. And the man hanging on the ladder was delivered to that spot by a helicopter. That's the most James Bond badass work flow I've ever seen with my own eyes.👏👏👏 (at Don N. Holt Bridge)

One day, when I was 12 years old, I was mowing our backyard when suddenly there was a sound like a cannon going off. I cut the mower off and quickly looked around. I saw my mother looking out the kitchen window making sure it wasn't me that had exploded. I knew dad was working on a project by the garage. I rushed over to make sure he was ok. When I found him he was stomping out grass that had caught on fire from the explosion. Dad had purchased a few metal barrels that were sealed shut. He was using a blow torch to open one of them. Not realizing they were filled with gas fumes the barrel exploded leaving a wide circle of flaming grass and leaving our father without eyebrows. Burned them clean off. After assessing that no one was hurt we discovered the lid to the barrel had disappeared. About a month later a neighbor was mowing a nearby field when he came upon something round and metal in the grass. And there, about a quarter mile from our house, was the barrel lid. The neighbor returned the lid to my dad (who's eyebrows were slowly growing back) and we had one of the best laughs of our lives. Today would be dad's 70th birthday. Happy birthday dad and thank you for so many explosive memories!
