Title: Found me a fire pit
Post by: mcgolden on May 10, 2016, 11:25:25 AM
Saw it on Craigslist last night and picked up today at lunch. A little rust on the legs but the center section had never even been used.

It was actually a very sad story. The woman's husband had passed away a few weeks ago from lung cancer at age 55. He had never smoked a day in his life. She is now selling a bunch of stuff since she's moving closer to her kids. She was the sweetest lady and she started tearing up when she told me how her husband had spent time cleaning out the fire pit. My mother-in-law is currently suffering from cancer due to a lifetime smoking so this really hit me.  :-(

Nice pick up.  I'm sure it was hard for her to let go of something her husband enjoyed.  I'd imagine she felt better knowing you'll care for it, as he had.

Congrats!  What a sweet pickup.  Looking forward to finding one of those one day myself.

It was a good thing you did by taking the time to listen. Probably helped her by just talking a little.Im sorry to hear about your in law. My dad was the same way. Sucks, but is what it is.

Nice find!  Sorry to hear about her husband.  I have one of those that I bought new and have never used yet.  It was the last one in the store at the time and they were sold out everywhere.  I'm going to try and use it at some point.

Yes, Cancer definitely sucks!  I'm sorry if I bummed everybody out, so lets all just drink a toast to the recently departed Weber lover.  I'm guessing he would have wanted it that way.  :D
