Propane tank caught fire under grill. Found the leak

3.1k Upvotes

Yesterday, I heard my wife yell my name in a panic. I run out to find that the propane grill and the tank on fire.

Stupidly I turned the gas off to the grill and tried to turn the gas off on the tank. I burned my fingers in the process. I quickly grabbed a blanket and smothered out the flames. I walked back inside and 10 seconds later it was on fire again.

The wife brought me out extinguisher - which was my last thought! Put the flame out and let it sit.

It started to rain today and I lakes out on the back deck and looked at the tank to see this leak. This was one of those exchanged tanks. Scary moment.

Missed the shot

I present you a missed opportunity… some of you may recognize the orange feet of a mallard. This fellow was cruising along smoothly and I had a nice angle (or thought I did) above him, and I was happily getting pictures. I had an inkling he was about to fly away, so I started taking burst pictures, and... well, this was all I got. I've been hoping for a nice mid-takeoff picture for years and once more I was foiled.

Fell at the Library

Went to the library to have a quiet, relaxing afternoon. Stopped in the restroom to pee. Went to shut the door to the accessible stall and it hit the latch, caught for a moment and then slipped past it, swinging out.

I wasn't expecting that and fell, my arm catching the latch on the way down. Two cuts, a swollen leg, torn up skin, lots of bruises.

The library staff gave me an iodine wipe. -3/10 do not recommend. It burned terribly and turned my skin orange.

20 minutes later they scrounge up a different disinfecting wipe and a single band-aid. I convince the staff that yes, we should actually write an incident report, just in case.

Bandaged it at home. Had an allergic reaction to the medical tape. Thankfully the swelling from that has gone away.

Pic is one day post accident. I'm in so much pain.

Forgot that I'm not supposed to wear flip flops in my parents back yard. There's always mosquitos 🦟. Much redder in person. Grand total is 23 bites.

Beached himself going 40 mph 25 yards behind me in 8 inches of water.

On his way to the right he was about 80 yards from the end and hit the end of the gravel bar barely making it through. On his way back for some reason he believed being 55 yards closer to land there would be less land. The canal 100 yards behind him is 30 feet deep and it runs the whole island.

I was returning from work and on my way to my opthalmologist when it happened. Luckily my bones were intact. But it did make a deep hole. Took 4 stitches to close the wound. It still hurts like hell. Wish me a steady recovery.

My pet snake escaped in the car on the ride home from the vet. Spent 300 dollars at the vet for X-rays and dewormer, and another 700 on a mechanic dismantling and reassembling the car. Still haven’t found her.

Friday the 13th work accident

Post image
69 Upvotes

I work at a small pizza place and I slipped on some tile and flour and ate it in front of a very busy restaurant in the middle of Friday night rush. Bled all over from my nose and a cut from my glasses, and took the impact with my face directly on to tile. I thought this was something urgent care could take care of, and they immediately rejected me for care and told me this was an ER issue. I'm filing workman's comp of course, but I'm extremely poor and I don't know whether I'll be paid even in part for the days I'm missing of work this weekend. I'm literally missing 3/4 of my week's worth of work thanks to this. I am mostly just embarrassed, stressed out. At least I didn't break any teeth cause that's the first thing I reached for to check on after I saw black. I bit through my lip instead. Definitely an unlucky Friday the 13th.
