... A Fire Wagon

This wagon is the best. Its features include oversized tires, suspension, and wood side rails. The wagon itself is a great place to store all of the necessities: firewood, plates, napkins, hot dogs, buns, graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, lighter (or matches), and roasting forks. The fire pit (pre-loaded with kindling and some wood) rests perfectly on top of the side rails. The lawn chair fits perfectly on top of the firepit. The cooler contains the remaining essentials: water, ketchup, and mustard. Wow, it is amazing how everything fits together so perfectly. On Thursday, I almost called Keith because he offered to bring his truck over to take the supplies. Why? I thought it might look a bit goofy pulling this gem down the road, through the intersection (having one of only two stoplights in Bremen), and into the parking lot of Woodie's grocery store. However, I decided to take the plunge, and go for the goofy option. I set off on the journey down the driveway to the alley. Turning left onto the alley, I encountered some rough areas and thought the fire pit might slide off. My fears diminished with each passing foot and I proceeded to the road. I turned right and proceeded up to the stoplight and waited for the green light. It came and the Fire Wagon ended its inaugural trip at the parking lot of Woodie's. Why? The trailer is parked here to collect personal care products. A fire pit creates a great opportunity to interact with people in the parking lot. People like smores.

If you are in the area next week on Thursday, that's 9/18/08, stop by between 6:00 and 8:00 PM for a hot dog and smores. Bring personal care products to donate.

This is truley a major cumulation of all your skills. Physics(Could the little wheels maneuver and turn the top heavy load successfully), willpower (ain't nobody gonna tell you you can't),physical prowess(Had to be heavy and cumbersome.....good thing you got some muscles),Chemistry,(the knowledge to know how the feeding of smores releases the endorphens of pleasure to the human soul).
