It's the grease from last night's steaks......”

As my Grandma would say, someone pulled a boner. We got a small gas grill from my Mom for the trip. I set it up this evening to grill some burgers. It has a button on the side to start it without having to open the thing up and start it with a match or lighter. Seems like a good idea..........

The grill's heating up and Connie mentions that it's smoking quite a bit. I tell her “It's the grease from last night's steaks”. I go out with the burgers and find I'd forgotten a plastic handled wire brush that was inside. It was a bit deformed and runny looking. I should have gotten a picture before I chucked it. Doh !

Yup...this definitely ain't Hargadon's blog in case anyone was about to make that mistake.

Seriously, though, you should take up writing as a sincere pursuit. You're obviously good at it. Enjoying it so far...

Mom's going to be pissed when she finds out you threw out her pefectly good, slightly melted grill brush. I saw a spot in the corner of her garage where she keeps a bag full of slightly melted grill brushes for future use.

Speaking of Grandma, did you include "toretilluz" in your camping cuisine?

The "old man" called yesterday and asked how you are doing (he senses your presence Jedi).

Oh yeah, and speaking of the old man, did you dine at CostCo after clearing the WalMart parking lot? (I hear you can make a meal out of them there free samples).

Sounds like your having a great trip...enjoy.

OK Scott, relax, the old man really didn't call...but you can still pretend your a Jedi on your little trip.

What exactly does your grandmother mean when she says that "someone pulled a boner?"....on second thought....scratch that question.

Reminds me of the time Norm nearly bunred down IA.

When Gram says it, she means something exactly like what Fire Marshall Norm did.
