Well instead of waiting for the ones that didn't survive to reply to this thread. Reading the acts of bravery and not so brave acts. I decided to followed the lead of the many brave and foolish that have thrown the love for life in to the wind......
I too chose to play in the freeway at rush hour and attempt to recharge the lipo now know as Ball Park Frank. Although burying the problem may not have been the bravest act, it did show probably the wisest choice in protecting life and limb. I broke out the old broken down FlavMaster 5000 gas grill. Put on the fire suite I had left over from stunt man school (some people just can't tuck and roll, that's all there is too it.). By setting the lipo on the rusted grill, I was offering the fire gods a sacrafice. In hopes that yes, someday it may actually save my life. Time will only tell. Dripping with sweat from the unbreathable, tight, and extremly itchy black fire suit. I made a mental note to wear underware next time I don this suit. The intense heat of the sun beating down on me didn't help matters. I pulled over and over on the pull chord trying to start the vibrator. I put out my cigarette and handed the lady back her boyfriend. Feeling less of a man now I turned the key and pushed the start button on my generator. Gave her that "You that you should of bought a Honda look." Couldn't hear what she said but don't matter I had a task to finish. I shrugged her off like a towl that's to small. High noon and hot as hell out. The sweat burned my eyes as if I just looked straight into a forbidden hole of a nitro rc pipe. I welcomed the pain as it remined me I needed to get toilet paper next time at the store. I can handle it told myself. Be a man and stop yelling. When my vision returned I continued grappling with the jumper cables trying to untangled them and get this fire stand moving forward. God I had to piss bad. No time now though. For the love of God they finally realease their grips on each other. Those clamps can leave a serious bruise on a person and should never repeat never be used on a persons nipples. Hooking the charger up deemed a more difficult task then I first thought. Can't stop now, I already mailed out the letters incase I loose this epic battle. Hoping Discover and Citibank really think I'm dead. Will let you know. Knowing I was sending the charger on a suicideneil misson I pushed the RED button as if I was the president of the US and didn't really give damn. Throwing myself as far away from what I was sure was going to be the barbeque exposion that would have the neighbors talking for hours. I landed closely to another bomb my trusty lab had just laid for an unlikely ex looking for a hand out. Flashes of the movie Deliverence and the music of banjos dueling filled my head. I fought with all my strenth to get that horny bastard off of me. A 100lb dog is pretty strong when he's got you down. I climed to my feet and dusted myself off. Regaining what dignity I had left. Looking around to see if anyone notice. Just as a person does when they trip over the invisible crack in the sidewalk. I Flashed an unnoticed angry look at the lab now licking his genitials. Little SOB I thought. I ran into the house tripping over the miles of cables and cords I had laying on the steps. Nailing a shin solidly on the the edge of the door step. I cried like a baby. Hurt? Hell yes it did. I no longer had to pee. The cords? Yep, you know it Handycam Close Circut. DIY style security system. I made my way through what seemed to be miles of dark hallways to the observation room where I had my stale chips, three packs of smokes, empty Folgers coffee can, and (now) a warm six pack waiting. There filling the screen was the FlavMaster 5000 and charger ticking away. Through the smoke stained glass in the 5000's lid. Ball park was getting the currents of life pumped back into it. Safe now behind the walls of my bunker, I nestled in for the explosion that was going to rock my world. I stared at the screen as if the killer on General Hospital was about to exposed. As the clock ticked by the charger was slowly but surely pumping the energy into this global killer. It wouldn't be long now I kept thinking. Any time now... When I woke up the battery was done charging. I balanced it but haven't used it. Thanks for the help guys.
