It’s officially summer (FINALLY) which means that if you haven’t already commemorated the season with a backyard cookout, you should be planning one! While it can be stressful to get everything in order — the meat, veggies, marinades, sides — you can’t forget the most important component…the grill! Okay, so if you have one, you’re halfway there, but you also need to make sure you have enough fuel for it. If you don’t have a measuring device built into the tank, just grab a hot glass of water and do this. How easy is that?! Let’s be honest…we both know you’re going to check this when you get home from work today. Happy grilling, everyone! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/propane-tank/

Not only does a Swedish Torch burn long and strong, it also provides the perfect cooking surface for a night in the wild. The best part? You can use the same stump for s’mores later on in the evening. Dinner by a fire topped off with dessert — yes, please! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/swedish-torch-cooking/

Helping the community, solving crimes, these duties are just part of the work…but no one said they had to take time out of their busy and sometimes dangerous days to do this. Recently, these neighborhood kids were battling the summer heat by playing with water guns in their yard when all of the sudden, officers from the Dixon PD attacked them — with more water guns! This is so cute. It’s so nice to see videos of cops having fun just like the rest of us. Let’s all use our phones and cameras to capture more moments like this.
