New Grill
So Friday it was soooo nice outside, I felt like we should have a barbaque. I called Seymen really early in the morning, at like 11AM and told him we should have one. Then I called Kris and left her a message. When she got out of work she called and agreed to come over for grilling and hanging out.
So, everything went pretty smoothly. I made it home from work at a reasonable hour. I ran to wegmans, bought some food, and headed home where I cooked and cleaned just in time before Kris, Dan, and Anaka showed up. When Seymen came home, we were all ready to grill it up. Wellllll....little did we know...we had a birds nest that had been built in the grill!! I had been complaining to Seymen since I moved back in, that he had to throw the fake plastic snakes that he and Ryan had kept in the grill, out because they scared the crap out of me and I refused to go out on the deck. I never believed them that the snakes actually did keep the birds away from the grill!
Well, Seymen finally did my bidding and threw the snakes away. Since then the birds made themselves at home in our grill! So anyway, back to the story. Seymen cleaned out the bird's nest, and afterwards we lit the grill to burn out any remaining twigs. Shortly after, the hose between the grill and the propane tank caught on fire...so Seymen decided it was time to kill the grill. He and Dan went out to Walmart and bought a new grill (meanwhile, this was at like 7:30pm, we hadn't eaten yet, and I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch!!). Soooo when they came back, Seymen took apart the old grill and Dan put the new grill together! Unfortunately, it turned out everything was taking too long, so we decided to order pizza instead.
But it was an adventure of the grills...and we are now proud owners of a charcol grill (instead of gas) that has a little turn-ey thing to make the charcol move up and down...Yes, that was the selling point for Seymen, why he splurged for the "Super Model" of the Walmart Charcol grill ;-) I'm just happy that there's no holes that any birds can get into so there's no need for the fake snakes! :-)
Anyway, here's pictures from the big adventure: CLICK HERE TO SEE PICS
