Great pickup Gerd, and an even better story!
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

She looks good to me!  Too funny.  You've been to that house numerous times yet have no recollection of ever seeing it or noticing it prior to watching old footage of it.  What if no movies were ever taken?  What if you had gotten up and missed the few frames the kettle starred in?  It might be in a landfill or scrap yard by now.  Cool find, man.

A free red weber. That's always an awesome story!

Dude, the stories on this site are so awesome!

Agreed, remarkable stories in this club.  Glad you got the grill G$ - the conversations between you and your dad was great.

I wouldn't use a mallet, just grab it and straighten it.  I feel beating it with a mallet causes more problems....nice score it's as good as you could expect.

Mexico.

I have not yet had a chance to figure out the story of where the Weber came from.  My guess is it was left there buy the guy that built the house when he sold it.
Mexico's the best! 8) Let's see, if I remember correctly Arizona borders Sonora? Just curious as to exactly where now, my grandfather was from Guaymas Nogales. I believe those all border AZ. ???

Sweet find G$.....a little steel wool will have the legs, triangle and all the rest sparkling like new.

Haha.  Sonora is the State.  (And the name up the dog in my avatar, and the desert I live in)

Nogales is the border town, half in AZ and half in MX, about 45 minutes from my door.

Guaymas is a big port town in the gulf of California.  The beach house is about 60 miles up the coast from Guaymas.

The legs, sure.  But Steel wool is not saving this triangle.  :(
