bbq







this summer chuck bought a sweet "vermont castings" bbq. so when dave said there was a smaller version, we went for it and bought one too. our VERY FIRST BBQ. we love it. it cooks good food. all hail the BBQ.

so, this morning after a strange wind storm last night that lasted about an hour, i opened the blinds, looked down and our brand spanking new bbq was teets up off the deck. WHAT?!?
my first thought was vandalism, then the wind, no it couldn't possibly be the wind, vandals... hmmm, well we decided it was the wind indeed.
it took jeff and cj to lift it out of the chasm it had fallen in. the bbq rolled from beside the little white table, past the 4 flimsy lightweight chairs and off the deck.
the cover saved the day, there was a huge rip in it, but the bbq, i am happy to report, was unscathed!
Hurray! i was certain it would be all dented up, looking crappy for all time.

this afternoon, eli and cj went for a walk down in bowness, i have include a shot from that adventure.

How on earth did the BBQ fly off and those plastic chairs not move, they should be on there way to Jupiter by now with the wind we had last night

I HATE wind....I REALLY HATE wind!!! I can handle rain, snow, sleet, sun but wind ruins an otherwise perfectly good day and now apparantly has tried to ruin a perfectly good bbq. I'm glad that though your bbq was knocked around that it has conquered the wind and still works!
