Oh, yeah! The house fire smell. It’s like (but WAY different) the Katrina smell (moldy-like) everything here had after that monster storm.

Our little “fire bowl” is just one of those cheapo wok-like things with a frame, about a yard diameter. It’s nice, and we bought a pile of firewood from our neighbor who cuts and sells it.

We went through that mold-like smell after The Great Flood of 2000. Spent two months living in a single-wide while they dried the place out and put in a new downstairs and half the first floor ceiling. Had to have an electrician rewire the whole place after all the wiring rotted two years after that.

That house hated our guts.

I want to buy one of those fire pit kits from Lowe's. And the missus wants a hot tub. And I want a new boat (we got lots of lakes and marinas around here). But, like my late daddy used to say, people in Hell want ice water.

OK, gang, time to go grab a fresh beer, a plate of hot BBQ Jack Daniels cheddar and pepper jack L'il Smokies and some warm German potato salad, and settle in on the sofa with Mrs. Viking and the raccoons to watch The Walking Dead. And the rest of the Redskins-Packers game. (Washington drew first blood. 7-0.).
