Growing up my dad would often lose track of his shoes and slippers. After an exhaustive search throughout the house the query would eventually come:
“Where did those kids put my shoes?!”
Of course we would just roll our eyes thinking to ourselves, “yeah, as if we ever touch them.” Well, now that I have kids of my own I’m beginning to think his speculation had merit.
When we bought our home four years ago our good friend Mark loaned us his old grill for our house warming party. After the party he decided to gift it to us instead of hauling it home. Well, we’ve held on to it since then and gotten good use out of it. However we noticed a lot of the parts have began to rust over and the rubber gas line was cracking. We wondered if it was time to move on to “bigger and better”.
Any normal guy at this point would jump at the chance, but I tend to like getting all the use out of something as long as I can. And besides, grill prices are at their high at this time of year. To get us through the summer until we can hit the sale prices in the fall, we were able to replace a lot of the parts and get the ol’ girl in working order:
All the parts came from Academy Sports & Outdoors.
Not too bad to keep things cookin’.
