No, we didn’t barbeque, but we did almost everything
else. We went to a graduation, and we
went up to Fort Rosecrans. We went out
to dinner three times and lunch once, we went to the movies, we ran errands in
four stores, he worked as a docent, and I read books. The medicine cabinet was cleaned out as was a
bookcase. There was a drop or two of
housework mixed in there also. Grumpy
got a good run, and I only left my cane behind in one bathroom. What more could one want.
Year before last, in a park redesign, the city removed the
built in BBQ near where we have our Friday night meetings. Last year the meeting used a borrowed
grill. At the end of the BBQ season, he
took his grill to another meeting. Folks
do things like that.
This year the meeting decided to buy their own BBQ. The problem was, it had to come apart into
two pieces to go into a car, SUV or pickup with a lid like Grumpy’s. It also had to be big enough to cook burgers
and hot dogs for about 40 all at once. We
never saw one on our travels that met these requirements.
The Geezer found one online, and Sears shipped it in less than
a week. After seeing the new Fast and
Furious 6, yes we did that, he put the new BBQ together. Yes, the top latches to the bottom, and yes
too, it will fit in almost any vee-hickle.
Thanks to the Geezer, we have BBQ lift-off for many summers to come.
Sounds like a very busy weekend! I did as little as possible. Dinner again soon? Having issues commenting on your diary via my iPhone again.
ReplyDeleteI love your shot of the Bay. The garage looks empty. Wonder how long it will take you to refill it? We did some things over the weekend, but mostly laid low to avoid all the tourist traffic. Very busy around here on Memorial Day. David reading the Navy book and laughing. To doc this PM to have stiches removed. Dianne
ReplyDeleteWe had a very quiet holiday...ok...it was boring. Plenty of cool weather and no place we wanted to go. If we sell the big house, we will have money again and might go out to eat on occasion.

ReplyDeleteYou had a productive weekend! And I love the grill!
ReplyDeleteWhere does Geezer 'docent'?
What a full, and what sounds like a fulfilling, weekend.
ReplyDeleteAbout the park redesign, is it a sign of my advancing years that every change touted as an improvement does away with something that worked great for me?
Full marks to finding exactly the right grill. I was a failure at trying to buy a blusher this am on line.
ReplyDeleteChecking out your GR site. Fun. I can see things I could not on my own site. When you write a review I will be able to see if you recommended the book. Dianne
