Two new additions with help from Special Agent Distraction
« on: April 18, 2020, 02:15:21 PM »
Spotted this green L.L. Bean Weber Gas Go Anywhere (GGA) two states over a while back.  Messaged the seller & she was willing to take Paypal and hold on to it for a couple of weeks until I could pick it up. 

Given the state of things, I didn't want to impose upon another member by even asking if they were willing to agent the grill.  So, I thought about waiting a couple of weeks & then asking if she would be willing to ship, but I'd also seen some issues other members had when they had someone ship a grill who really didn't know how to pack it & who doesn't appreciate them like we do.

The other problem was the grill was over 3 hours away, so I'd basically need to be gone for 7-8 hours, or so, to pick it up.  But, I knew "special agent distraction" was going to make an appearance any day now.  She is the other new addition (see second pic).  She was born earlier this week & I already made plans with the wife, that I would leave the hospital during the day, to work on a bathtub faucet leak that required you to turn off of the water to the entire house.  One of the days, I made a trip "to find a part", two states over & picked up the grill.  Also picked up another item on the way back & missed out on a package deal I also tried setting up.

The pic is from the listing & I did manage to clean the dust off the top of the grill last night, along with a bit of grease on the outside of the lid.  Next, I'll go with the outside of the base (there was grease on the bottom, but I REMEMBERED to bring a garbage bag to the pickup!).  After that, I'll tackle the inside.  After that, I'll have to contemplate an interesting trade offer another member made after seeing a bit of it in the tease thread.

BONUS- she was born a bit early & her original due date would have been right around when they were estimating we'd peak in Chicago. 
regards,
Hal

Thanks.  I've got two others.  A boy who is almost 5 and a girl who is 3.5.

But, I am a first time color Go Anywhere owner.

Congrats she's beautiful! First time Father?

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

I'm generally not a fan of logos, but there are some I like.  Just wish it was charcoal.  However, I think this one would might look really cool with this item I bought at a thrift store, just to break it in pieces AND save one of the pieces for use as the top portion of a handle on a Weber, especially a green Weber.  Now, I'm thinking it would likely look the best on a green Go Anywhere Weber.  So the question becomes, where the hell did I put that piece of wood?

Congrats on the new additions. Love the little one. I say you save it for her. Tell her the story of it.

Congratulations mate! Glad to see her born healthy. That can be her grill if you don't end up trading it
