I woke up at 7am this morning. Saw these Weber BBQ Tools on CL for $10
My first thought was. 604 uses those I got to have them. Picked this up in the morning before going to work. I was happy.

Afternoon at 2:30. Emailed this. Made an appointment for tonight. 2 hours later I got an email she told me she got an offer for $60 and she said she really need the money. Told her no worries.

Then I found this on CL.
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS - MUST GO (santa clara) MOVING AND NOT TAKING IT ALONG
No pics on the ad. So I texted Eddy and immediately texted me 3 pictures of the bbq's. Saw the red texted him back and told him I want the red and how much. Ten minutes later he never texted back. So I decided to call him. No response I got his voicemail and he never called me back or responded my text. While I was waiting I texted Dazzo and showed him the red jj. Thirty minutes later called him again. He picked up and I asked about the red grill. First thing he said is $20...Told him I'm on my way.

Got at their house late at night. The red JJ was just sitting outside the front yard in the dark. Since it's a moving out sale Eddy offered me the red spotlight($5) and the 3 folding chairs($10) instead I gave them $40 and told them keep the change. They help me load the stuff in the Miata. Melissa also gave me a lot of aluminum trays and some halloween trays for free. These are one of the sweetest couples I have met. Melissa told me the JJ was a present to her and they used the other 2 bbq's more often. Gave both of them a hug then I went home.

I was driving home half way. Dazzo finally texted me 3 times. He had me laughing so hard I was in tears.

I think the bbq tools was a sign. Since 604 uses these I have to have them.
The kettle gods threw in the red JJ since 604 also scored one recently.
What a great day. I always told myself when I grow up I want to be like 604 and Zav.
SONUVABITCH.
I mean, great score.
congrats.
Great adventure! I love that grill. Kettle karma is paying dividends to you. 8)
Well done mate. Love the Reds. Great example of a JJ!
YES!!! What a haul! Awesome scores argent! Your JJ looks to be in even better shape than mine and FREE :o :o

It did not come with flip grates. I purchase the flip grates at Target Store. They were on clearance for $9.
Wish I could get some of them here.... >:(
They don't look like they fit right though
When youre hot youre hot.....nice red JJ.
Sweet red!!
congrats! nice scores!
The rewards of Kettle Karma, Congrats!!!
The hinged grate is not a proper fit for the JJ. It looks nice though!
And Alvin, we all need you to start the Lotto Pool.. Your luck is just too much!
Nice find, Again!

You know Alvin, Santa Clara is in my neck of the woods.
I think we need to talk.
Good job!

Alvin.....you are nothing short of amazing........ 8)
In years to come (like starting later this week) they'll be talking about you in the same sentence with those guys ^^^^^
Great scores sir.
Congratulations!
Great score on the Redhead JJ and the tools!
Kettle Karma is real, people! Well done, Argent!
Welcome to the red JJ club... me and 604 will teach you the secret handshake. ;-) Anyone else have one of these? Mine came to me in the bed of a pickup truck at the grocery store (yes, I paid for it, and more than Argentflame!).

Yeah, I found that the "Normal" 18.5" cooking grate does NOT fit the JJ properly - had to get a SPECIAL grate from Weber. Of course my JJ is just black :'(
Awesome Day!!!
Ooh thats nice! They are cool!!
