Sofa King Cold on a Saturday Night

As mentioned in my prior post, we attended a "bonfire/party" at the home of some Michigan relatives who shall remain nameless (Unless their blackmail check bounces!).

As the night grew longer, the keg got lighter, and the kids were put to bed for the night, someone decided that what the fire needed was - more furniture! Fortunately there were several old pieces laying around that were beyond recovery and destined for destruction:

Sofa #1 blazes away

The "fire meisters", still winded from transporting the fire's first victim, utilized lawn and garden equipment to assist in the second round. Not a drop of beer was spilled during this endeavor!

Sofa #2 travels to it's ultimate demise

By this time, the Michigan night had turned quite chilly for our t-shirt and shorts wearing clan, so we had all moved from the upper deck to fireside seating. We warmed up in no time thanks to the efforts of these flaming young men who, I might add, also turned out to be excellent wait staff!
Our courteous servers
I've been invited for more of the same behavior from these adventurous lads in the near future. Something about motorsports, kegs, and media appearances. I'm sure that no harm could come from that, right?
