So I've been down on my luck for several months. Jobs, clients, money, health, friends, family, and even grill finding.
But last week several of my bad luck zones really turned around!
I can't share all the details yet, but I'll share the latest.
On friday night, I spotted a 'cute sage green charcoal bbq grill' on the Los Angeles craigslist. It certainly looked like an avocado in the picture
It was already several days old, so I figured someone already swiped it up. I emailed anyway and got a near instant response that it was still available.
It was 62 miles away from my house and she was only available to let me pick it up on monday night (last night)
I drank a big bottle of pepsi on my bumpy and trafficky drive to Santa Monica. When I got to her apartment building I had to pee so bad I could barely walk.
It turned into an emergency very quickly and I was forced to whip it out and pee in the bushes outside. This was a crowded urban neighborhood, but it needed to be done.
Unfortunately, when some people started coming my way I had to rush my pee - squeezing and forcing it out like a pressure washer. This is when it went from bad to worse. A palm leave bent back from the pressure of my stream and created a bit of a U-turn ramp. It left me with a football sized wet spot on my shirt. So embarassing...
Anyway, here's the grill. It was missing its ash pan, and it seems to have a stubby handle (mounted upside down).
It's a patent pending.
More pics after the cleanup!
