So, on Sunday I purchased a new grill.

This here’s the old one.  Still looking ok after over 4 years of hard use…

…but it was showing the wear and tear on the inside.  Plus, when I entertain it was just a little to small to get the job done right.

So it was off to the 4 Seasons store on base to upgrade.  Only problem was the damn box wouldn’t fit in either the back seat or trunk of my Nissan.  I rang up my co-worker Dennis and he graciously agreed to help me out with his SUV.

Here’s how it looks out of the box.  You know, I am not a real handy guy around the house, but even a fool should be able to throw this thing together in no time.

The instructions make it look easy enough, right?  Let’s get started…

Steps 1 and 2 complete.  Now granted, if I had four hands it would have been a whole helleva lot easier, but I got it done.

After steps 3 and 4 it feels like I’m on a roll…

Man, I haven’t done that much screwin’ in one afternoon since I was 17…

And in just over 2 hours of work, I done got me a new grill… Let’s try it out!

Ah, burgers and beans… Yum!

Dinner is served!  Let’s sit down in front of the TV and watch a little…

Deadwood! 

Ah, ain’t life grand?
