Finally got me a Yellow 22!!!!....stoked!

[varekai]

Got to work today with ALOT to do. ALOT to coordinate, I was getting ready to head south with a load of preserves and finalizing some details with a coworker when she says "OH, we saw a yellow weber and veronica (her daughter) thought of you." I asked where? she says in cayucos (where she lives) at an antique store. I ask her WHICH ONE WOMAN?! She cant remember, I get on my phone and call the one she "thinks" it might be, lady answers, I ask if she has a yellow bbq there, "Yes", I start grilling her, How big? Look at the top vent, is there any letters? HOW MUCH? she say $89, I skip to saying HOLD ONTO IT, I'LL BE THERE IN AN HOUR!!!...it was on my way to my delivery. I tell my coworker she just made my day! I get there to pick it up, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL sitting there, it is missing its ash pan, which I will be looking for one if anybody has one. I walk inside and the lady says, "are you darin?", Yep, i'm here for the kettle. She said great and that some one has paid for part of it, WHAT? Come to find out my coworker who told me about it called ahead and paid $45 towards it, she said it was for Christmas. I love her!!..lol  Anyway, here it is!!

Congrats, Darin! That should clean up nice! You're going to love watching it get hot......

Thanks guys, and it is really clean right now, it rained here yesterday and the brown drips are from when I hauled it home,  I had it inverted and when i uprighted it the water ran from under the lip... still will give her a good cleaning when I get it home. Right now I left it at work so my coworker could see it up close tomorrow.

awesome co-worker !

She totally knows of my disease..she was going to get rid of her kettles a while back , she had a 22 and an 18 both black, I convinced her to keep them and learn how to use them. She loves them now!
