We bought our bbq almost 11 years ago, a low end Charbroil two burner for $60. Turned out to be an excellent $60 investment. Hardly the best grill in the world, but for $60 it did an excellent job, was supernaturally efficient (I believe I only had to refill the tank TWICE. Maybe 3 times), and lasted 11 years (okay, 9.5 years, probably should have replaced it a little while ago).

With a cracked heat diffuser, rust on the grates, dead ignition, and ever-increasing cold spots it was time. Wasn't interested in bottom-of-the-line this time (especially since the quality of the the low end grills has gone WAY down in 11 years). So we went with this bad boy:

Fixed it for you.

Nice. And your taste in music is impeccable.

Taking "my team" out to dinner tonight.

That feels weird to say. Going to take time to feel comfortable with this whole leadership thing.

If I bow to you next time I see you, try to take it in stride. ;)

I just spent the day with Rose, Brad and a couple of rollercoaster enthusiast friends at Universal. I missed out on the Kings parade and rally, but I had already promised I'd be available for today, before I knew that the Kings would win it all. I didn't miss a thing- I had a great time :)
