Partial resto for a Friend (long post)

[Weber MD]

Well done Winz.  Would love to hear how your friend's reunion goes.

Yep, this is super cool.  You did a great job too!

[Winz]

Mission accomplished!  Dropped it off yesterday along with a bag of Kingsford and a spare weber chimney I had laying around. 

Rick (the owner) came into my wine shop tonight to buy me a beer.  He said that he had, in fact, missed the grill and was starting to look around at estate sales in order to pick up another one.  I did not have the heart to tell him that I am pretty sure I beat him to all the estate sales looking for Webers in the area...  He is a Harley rider and so I felt it my duty to give him some education on the grill (year, unique features, etc) and to let him know that vintage Webers are like vintage Harleys - a nice piece of American history.  He could relate.

Turns out his 23 y/o daughter, a budding griller herself, read him the riot act for giving it away in the first place.  I think she is happier than him that it is back and in good shape.  Hopefully she will be the one cooking on it for the next 20 years.

Good on you Winz, paying it forward feels great for both parties. Everybody winz (couldn't resist). This club and stories like Winz's never cease to amaze and often reminds me there are plenty of good folks out there.

That's good stuff, Winz. Thank you.

Good going Winz! I'm glad to hear he's happy to have it back.
