Fire in the Hole

With the Young Daughter off on an overnight visit, The Fuzz and His Sweetie had the evening to themselves.
So after stopping by the old place to take care of some yard work, they went out their favorite Mexican Restaurant for some dinner. Then it was back to the woods for some coffee and an evening at home.
That was pretty nice.
In the morning they even got to stay in the bed until they actually wanted to get up. Again a nice change.
Yet it did turn out to be an exciting morning after all. You will note, in the above pix, the somewhat damaged burner to the cook stove. As the tea kettle was happily heating up, there was a sudden pop and flash of light. This turned into the sound of what seemed to be an arc welder as sparks and smoke flew up from the stove.
It seems that we experienced a burner blowout here. Unfortunately it also blew out out our water kettle. (Note at the red arrow) And as can be seen at the right, in this interior view, the kettle is ruint.
But things could have been worse. What would have happened if The Fuzz and His Sweetie had not been right there to witness this? Would they now be sitting out there in the rain sadly looking over the charred ruins of their home? I don't know, but it did make for an exciting morning around here.
