Restore the Roar!!!!
« on: September 09, 2017, 05:08:44 PM »


Want to introduce the newest member of the team. This rare veteran kettle is sure to end up in the hall of fame. I know it doesn't look as good as it did in its rookie year but still has life in his bowl. Also want to thank the previous owner @lightningboldtz for letting me add this kettle to my line up. I look forward in restoring the roar. Hopefully my restoration is quicker than the Lions who have been in restoration mode since 1957.

Before this was passed on to Matt, we did a side by side with my other Lions MT.

One has been cooked on twice, the other has been cooked on at tailgate after tailgate.





I am glad it is going to a good home and the restore should be fun.

I hope he puts a whooping on Carson Palmer today. Go Hawks!

Looks like he has a bad wheel though. Probably a game time decision  ;D

L.B. has had the good one for sometime now. The one with the melted wheel is new...and well L.B. is a fast operator and does not always seek nor offer advice or explanations on his activities....he is a busy secretive man with many a secret. He also has a cave beneath his compound with an exit out the back.

Word. At first I though LB had left his Lions MT out over the winter then sold it.

He does have one hell of a knack for finding some rare ones.  And passing them on to worthy members. Takes special talent to be that good.

The one that I passed on to Matt was purchased from member Joel who did some liquidating because of his big move from the mitten state to big Tex.  Joel passed this on at cost to me along with many other items.  Matt expressed interested when Joel picked this up so when I got it I could not think of a better person to love it.  he must have cooked on it yesterday because the Lions looked strong in the win.

We wish @jbenavidez2 the best on his move.

Unfortunately I did not cook on it Sunday. I was busy fixing my work van. But I did replace the handles on it. And this week is a Monday night game. I will be at work. If restoring it brings luck. I will be cleaning it every Sunday 😀
