Retiring "Old Reliable"

Postby HomeRacingWorld » Sun Aug 03, 2014 2:00 pm

Took my old Char Griller out to my Pop's place for a weekend visit. We were to cook for friends & family and the only way to do that PROPERLY was to take my own grill.

Image

Well, it did fine and has a lot of grilling life left in it. BUT I decided to leave it there so Pop's has his own grill for the next time we visit.

Now to shop around for the new one. Anyone want to bet I end up with the same one? :) I bet I do!

Good move, chief. They have made some very nice improvements since we got these. Have a look on their website for the goodies the discount places we buy from don't get. Have fun!

Do you think your father will cook on it, or store it away for when you come by?

I need to find someone nearby who can take my old soldiers. There's two of them sitting aside that need a home. One is 38 years old!

Dickie Bubs has the same brand just a bit bigger than your old one $149.99 and I bet you could down load a coupon for 10% off or better

Forgot about that one, you don't need it anyway. You abandoned it. Around here that's a crime. :)

The least you could do since he sired the pre-eminent slot car hobbyist on the planet... ;)

That's rather like giving up one of your children, isn't it? I suppose they must all leave home eventually.

Good move, Harry!
When we left the LeJuene area a couple of years ago we gave ours to a Marine couple down the street, with the promise they'd do the same when they left. They are having a "Change of Command" ceremony on Labor Day weekend. We have been invited. Might just have to go!
