Default old days

we built a new outhouse and would do way with the old . So, at that age knowing all things and matter I took a five gallon can of gas poured it down the hole, poured me a fuse out about 20 feet and struck a match--started with fire all around me---standing in fire,quickly burned and then---boom--****house went up--planks flying ever which way fire ball 50 feet up, hounddogs took off barking, cows took off, folks came running out of the house to see ---what some days---gas about 15 -18 cents a gallon. Heck, we burned brush piles with it and something called distillate, we ran in john deere tractors. Bought by the hundreds of gallons, was so cheap.Good old days my butt, I like in the house throne, warm in winter, pull handle and whoosh--gone.Will-alabama
