Couldn't think of a more appropriate subject for my 2000th post.
Last week,
@Heyjude sent me an email late one evening. It was a strange listing with a picture of a microwave titled "Microwave, HDMI Cables, BBQ". At first I though AJ was messing with me. The first thumbnail photo I click on was of an old beaten grill of unknown make. Continuing through the thumbnails I see why he sent me the link. An NFL Raiders SJ. It is filthy but from the look of the handle, appears to be in great shape. My wife being a huge Raiders fan I think great. Problem is, the add says 8 AM until noon the next day and it is in Sacramento, two hours from me. I text
@Mike in Roseville , asking if he would be able to agent it for me. He responds yes.
The next day, I receive a text from Mike with a picture of the Raiders SJ all cleaned up with the text "It's NFL draft day". It hits me that it is actually the NFL draft that afternoon. Turns out Mike could not pick up the kettle due to his schedule. No problem, he reached out to his neighbor,
@inkaddictedchef1 who was able to score the Raiders SJ for me. Interesting part is once I saw the Raiders SJ, I quit looking through the thumbnail photos. Turned out the seller also had a pristine H Code brownie for sale that I had not even seen. Now we all know who happens to have an attraction to brownies so it worked out nicely for Matt doing me a favor. Seems like karma is a real thing.
Not enough to convince you? OK
The same day that Heyjude sent me the CL add, my wife and I were returning from running errands. Driving home, we see a sign for an estate sale. I followed the signs to the estate sale but find it is on a dead end street with no available parking. It was around noon and we were hungry so we ended up not stopping. The next day (NFL draft day), my friend drops this off at my house. He had picked it up at an estate sale close to my house. Yep, same estate sale we had driven by the day before.
It's a Pat Pending 18" with steel wheels.
See the guy who picked up this 18" little red jewel for me is the fella that I restored his Dad's kettle for last year (see Legacy Kettle thread below). You will need to read this story to really see the karma connection.
