So I have been stalking this Avocado near my house, and today I finally had the chance to stop by and see if it may be for sale...Here is a picture I took a while ago
I drove by to see if it was still out there and sure enough it was. So I pulled in the driveway. I got out and approached the door, even before I was able to knock the door opened and I was met by a scraggly bearded man, who may or may not have had less than ten teeth. I said hello and I had a strange question to ask....He gave me a strange look, I told him I was a collector of old Webers and asked if he might be willing to sell or trade the old grill out behind the garage. He didn't even take two seconds and he told me no, he really liked his grill and he uses it a lot. I said okay I can respect someone who is attached to their Weber. I asked if I could at least look at it. He said sure and he actually had another "red one" out behind the shed. So we went to look. The Avocado was in pretty decent shape, minimal chips, the handle was totally shot, but otherwise very nice. It had the skinny whitewall plastic wheels. The redhead out behind the shed was decent as well, and to literally top it off, it had a Corn N Tater rack sitting on top...I asked if he would part with it but he said no... So I told him I would give him some handles to replace the ones he had that were rotted. He was happy...I was just trying to spread a little Weber Karma around.....I told him thanks for letting me look at his grills, and we shook hands. He said his name was Don. He told me he and his buddy have cook outs all the time and they love their grills. His friend has five black Webers. So even though there was no score I at least I tried, and because of an old Weber grill, I met a nice guy.
