    I know y'all had a great time. Lots of wood cut, food consumed, and friendships made. Wish I had enough time off to go to each GTG...
    Thanks for hosting it again for the FHC family. We missed y'all.
    Hope to see you in June.

    For the uninitiated, magnesium is very cool.

    It amazes me how often I have to Goggle things from this site. I've lived on the West and East coast and in the middle states. Also traveled outside the country. Yet I still have to add to my vocabulary. Now my issue is trying to remember new things. Not so good anymore. Is what it is.

    Pointless bonus fact incoming :rofl: :lol:

    One of my first jobs years ago was a place called Meridian Magnesium of America. The fire department hadn’t been trained in extinguishing magnesium fires and sprayed water on the burning trailers. It spread through the entire trailer lot after that mistake… The fire was massive…. When that place lit on fire holy Hanna! It burned for a couple weeks… I heard recently that it happened again a few years ago…

    Hopefully today they'd know what to do since a magnesium fire would be fought the same way a lithium battery fire would...

    That's a fire that definitely could be seen from outer space.
