Two new additions with help from Special Agent Distraction

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.

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.

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?

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