Awesome Surprise Today

[landgraftj]

Well after not hearing anything about this grill for about 2 weeks I just figured G$ and jcnaz didn't acquire it and it was on to the next one. Unbeknownst to me they had secretly acquired it and shipped it to me without telling me. Needless to say I was quite surprised to have a package from UPS this afternoon. Opened her up and waalaa...a new Go Anywhere branded with Jack Daniels! Guys you rock and I couldn't ask for 2 better guys to do this. I'll let G$ fill you in on the details if he so deems it necessary. This is exactly the type of folks we need on the forums! You guys ever need anything out my way be sure to let me know. On to the pics...

FINALLY!

John deserves most of the credit here,  .  All I did was harass the seller, send some paypal money, bug Marty for your address which I had lost, check on the status of the shipment, harrass John AND his brother some more, give some mediocre advise, etc etc etc.

So glad that it appears to have arrived in good shape!

The good news is, at the end of the day, we MIGHT get JCnAZs brother involved in kettle cooking.  The poor guy met the seller and picked up the grill for us, and delivered it to John for eventual shipment.  Hopefully that indoctrination as a grillfella is enough.  But if not....I think he may be getting a reward as well........

Great teamwork! Now all you need are custom handles made from this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-Jack-Daniels-Tennessee-Whiskey-Barrel-Stave-1-5-3-Pen-Blanks-DIY-/330957734918?_trksid=p3284.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D21%26pmod%3D321092385663%26ps%3D54

man that is PURTY!!!!

it makes me want to get shitfaced and grill some hotdogs.

you have to get shitfaced to grill hotdogs, because when you sneak a bite from a freshly grilled hot dog you WILL BURN YOUR MOUTH - the drunken state eases the pain.

That's a seriously nice grill Terry! How rare is it to see a GA with a custom logo? That's an instant collectors item. The story was just icing on the cake.

Wait, shouldn't it have a jack daniels handle too?

Can brian make one?

I'll be at the distillery in October...may have to see if I can grab some oak from a barrel.

I doubt Brian can do it based on machining, but wouldn't it be cool to make the handles out of a blank or stave that had a Lynchburg stamp visible on it?  So rather than engraving it, it just is weathered and has the stamp running haphazard across it.  (Not sure I am making sense but if you look at some of the photos Lawrence posted on the ebay listing you will see what I mean.)
