First flood, now fire......
Wow! That's really scary. You guys suffer any damage to your ear drums as a result of the explosion? Just curious. You have a lot to thank God for!!
It's a real bummer about the plane. "Stuff" can be replaced but lives cannot.
Our kids lost their camper in the Nashville floods. They got out with their lives and that's all that matters. First flood, now fire, what's next....locust?  |

Okay, since we know he's going to be alright now, we can start kidding...
Since he got "cooked"... "Hibachi"
Glad you're okay, buddy!

lucky
I'm glad to hear that you and your daughter got out, and were released after only a couple days.
I grew up having an uncle around (he was my inspiration to fly, as it happens) who burned in crop duster crash in the late 60's, and he and his injuries made it very clear that there aren't a lot of good outcomes from a fire. He continued to fly, after a very long recovery.
When you are thinking about what happened, remind each other that you two dealt with a difficult emergency, and and survived.
I look forward to updates from you here as you recover, and sort out what happened.
As for nicknames, I'd say that you may now accurately answer to "Lucky".
Best wishes for a full recovery,

Todd,
I know you like to be noticed, going the alternative engine route and everything, but burning your own plane to a crisp just to become the center of attention on 4 different forum threads (AOPA, Purple Pilot's, Matronics and of course this one here at VAF) is going just too far! 
All kidding aside, glad you and your daughter are still with us.
