Last Road Trip of 2019 Long Story Pic Heavy

Funny how this year started and how it's ending. Full circle I guess. Read about it below.

I haven't been active much in the past few months as we've been busy moving my mother out of her home of over 50 years. In 45 days we were home 15. Driving back and forth 125 each way to Long Island for over 4k miles on the truck. I've had some grills picked up by one of my number one Agents,
@james1787
. Again, a BIG THANKS to James for helping me with these and holding them. While driving today, 4 hour roundtrip, I finally had time to myself and reflect on the Weber year. I can't thank everyone enough who helped make this year what it was.

So many people who've played a part in making my Weber dream a reality. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, my apologies. I only hope I gave back to the community that has given so much of itself. I was hoping for a reveal of the MBH collection of complete primary colors in 18 and 22. With priorities what they were that just didn't seem to get done. So I felt this was the best post to end the year and decade with.
Over the summer I found this WW WD Fleetwood at an estate sale, my first WW.
@james1787
got to experience his first experience at it. As usual he scoops in and secures it. Then one day I'm home in October I got a chance to search for grills when I was home and found the GA. It was close to James and once again he scoops it up. He is AGENT OF THE YEAR. Couldn't have done all these without you brother.
Fast forward to yesterday when I looked at the weather and saw rain for 2 days starting tonight.
Contacted James and was at his home at 8:30 AM. Back on the road by 9 and home by 11.
Barn cleaned both by 2:30. Fleetwood is a cooker for sure but will be active once bowl vents are free.
So I meet James January 4th for what included a 26r and now close out the year meeting up with him again for what includes a 26r. Sometimes life comes full circle, in more ways then one. Happy New Decade to All.

Colin, Happy New Year, great story. I didn't realize it was a 26r. I need to fix the cracks on my screen. Can't wait to see what you find in 2020

I swear, when I score a great deal on a 26" I'll stop buying grills... So often.
