• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

$180 shovel

Went out to buy a shovel today - went to the local TruValue store.

Grabbed the shovel, it was $9.99.

Stopped by the BBQ displays (as I always do) to see what's going on
there. They had a WSM marked down from $239.99 to $199.99. As
I'm looking at it, taking my time, developing a strategy on how to
convince them that amazon.com has a free shipping, no tax price of
$179 and that they should match or beat, etc., etc., the owner walks
by on his way to lunch.

He says "Can I help you?".

I respond (after realizing he is the owner) "When are they going on sale?"

He says "I'll sell you that one for 20% off"

I say "So what's that make the price?"

He says "$159.99"

I say, realizing my strategy is now shot all to hell, "Got one in a box?"

He says "Nope - that's the last one - and it's already assembled"

I say "OK"

So, with tax, the shovel cost me $180. And I feel I got a good deal on it too.

Now the bad part. While carrying the WSM from the driveway to backyard I dropped the farking lid. It did a near 180 and now has a slight dent and a baseball size area where a bunch of enamel popped off. Oh well. The dent is up near the top, so, should be no effect on the cooking performance. A little 1200 degree paint to stop the rust might be in order, but the cooking side is fine.

Now.....what might there be in the freezer............
 
A shovel in Richmond?

Did you buy some of that spray on snow for your lawn so you'll have something to shovel?

What's snow?

Got a problem with a sewer line. Got to dig up a shitload (pun intended) of dirt to get to it.
