Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
I celebrated the 4th floating and drinking :

They wanted me to grill a dozen ears of corn wrapped in foil and slathered with butter. Problem was that whoever prepped them had no idea how to wrap for containment. The butter mixed with 3” of grime and poof! Looked like I was burning diesel fuel in PaPa’s pos Weber.
How long did it take you to get the fire under control? Are you the family hero?

That pic was taken after I put it out using a 30+ year old fire extinguisher.

About 5 minutes once I realized what was happening. Most of that time was waiting for my FIL to find the extinguisher.
damn. The one time I actually needed a fire extinguisher it didn’t work because it was expired.
was on a boat and it started smoking like shit. I pulled the trigger to spray the extinguisher and ….. nothing.
Was about to jump in the water but luckily it never caught fire and ended up not being a huge deal. Got a tow from a neighbor.
