T'was the night before Saturday and all through the house.
Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse.
The wife and the boys were out for the night.
So I cooked myself a bacon cheeseburger... damn right!
As I bit into the burger I heard a small little ding.
It was my cellphone notifying me of a new "Weber" thing.
To craigslist I ran as I dodged through the smoke.
Then the sight that I witness nearly caused me to choke!!!!
;D ;D ;D

I emailed the seller and he shot from the hip.
So I set my alarm for an early road trip.
It took a few hours but I wasn't unsettled.
For on the trip home came two awesome kettles! ;)

Just finishing up the cleanup on both now - super stoked! The red was already near spotless so most of the cleanup was on the yellow.
More pics real soon...

lol not very long... I have two young boys (4 & 6) and am running on not nearly enough sleep lately. Mix that with a little liquid inspiration and the inner workings of my brain becomes remarkably similar to that of a Dr. Seuss book. ;)
