I have a neighbor friend Jossy ,who is a bit different . His unkempt manner and lack of social skills he inherited from his father ,who farmed the next road over . Jossy’s dad believed in the “you never throw any thing out “ way of life ,that included 60 or 70 scrap cars and trucks ,piles of fridges, stoves ,freezers, furniture ,and every conceivable piece of farm equipment they ever owned piled around the farm house .No less than twenty barking dogs and a few hundred barn cats too .Not to mention mega tons of just plain junk they accumulated and brought home from other farm sales !The one thing that the Jossy’s failed to bring home was soap ,deodorants ,tooth brushes ,combs ,hair brushes and just about any other use full products for good hygiene ,you see were I am going with this .
Its not that the family, isnt a smart bunch of people ,far from it , a extremely intelligent and hard working family just not a group you want to invited over to a dinner party .One time Jossy’s ,Harvestor silo caught fire , he wasn’t going to pay the nine hundred dollar fire call . He wasn’t , he stopped fire and rescue at the end of his driveway .Told the chief that the fire was contained in the giant silo and posed no threat and he would drop “haylon “ fire extinguishers in .And so he did for three weeks he ,three times a day the wirery little Jossy would strap on clinder of haylon and run up the 80 foot silo and drop one canister in . In the end the fire just burned its self out ,but he was one determend S O B ! Another time Jossy’s old man got stuck with the tractor .Well they had a windless winch on a trailer Jossy stretches out the cable to the tractor and he begins to reel dad in ,he stops to catch his breath, but the latch on the windless , failed to hold the hand crank . The hand crank when released beat Jossy about the head and shoulders for nearly 40 revolutions . In emerge he just said “I should have just oiled it up before I used it that’s all “,never accepting failure no matter how hard the beating .
Any way I am going to burn off a field of stubble ,it’s a long narrow field . I have received a burn permit from the county ,plowed 8 rounds around the field as a fire break . I am waiting for a good strong east wind to blow the flames back to my place ,so if things get out of control I would only have my place to worry about .
Well Tuesday morning arrives wind is right and four of my kids are home .We have torches ,each of us will walk about a hundreds yards ,making one long line of flaming stubble ,which would run down the field like the devil ,little smoke and the job done in half a hour .. Unfortunately for us the stubble is too wet for us to light it ,too much rain .Enter Jossy ,he sees the power wagon in the field as he is driving by .Nosey by nature he is now in the field ,and pulls up beside my crew . He gets out and gives his all to familiar greeting “and how are you now “ I hate that ! I told him of our failure to light the field . Jossy being Jossy says you just arnt doing it right you need to put more gas on it . My reply I wasn’t wasting money , trying burn wet stubble . Now there are a few smoldering spots here and there on the start line but no fire YET . We are just waiting for those spots to die out before we call it a day and head home .
Before I could say another word Jossy has a 5 gallon jerry can of gas and opens it and starts running leaving a trail of gas as he goes .Now picture this, this small stinky guy with pop bottle thick glasses is running with a full jerry can of gas ,pouring gasoline across a field of stubble . I give him credit he is really movin , he passes one of our smoldering piles .Now the smoldering stubble ignites the gas . The line of burning gas is running after Jossy .Jossy is running full tilt splashing gas on himself and the field . Its really impressive ,until Jossy trips falls and rolls ten feet with the gas can empting the entire contents on him , and the immediate ground around him .Undaunted Jossy gets up and give us the most stupidest grin of "see how its done ",unbeknown to Jossy there is a trail of flame fifty feet behind , and really gaining on him .Jossy looks at the flames ,he looks at himself soaked in gas ,he then looks at us ! He then takes off like a rabbit ,from the side line all I can say is Jossy stop drop and roll . We beat the flames out of him with our jackets ~ Copey
