I'm a Dead Man Walking
« Reply #-1 on: September 22, 2015, 07:39:44 PM »
Promised my wife after the 25 y/o broil chef , no more grills!
Well I found an 1980's Weber "Red Head" with wood tables for $75.
Already paid but can't pick up for 10 days till passing by the location.
Been looking for this grill, first one I've seen in 12 months to do a full restore on!
Let you know how it comes!

They say promises were made to be broken, right? That is except the ones I make to Mrs. TF! Even then I think it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission!

Tell Tamara and the girls I'll see them at JazzFest. I guess we'll miss you. Sort of.

PS - I'm hoping you'll have time to restore the Weber before your demise. If so, put in a good word for me to bring it back to Hawaii when you're gone.

I love your "guts"! I think after all this time together, this might cost you a bit, but you will be ok...  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Looking forward to seeing the re-build.
