So much to share and I am just too tired! We had the best and the worst vacation. The best because of the memories that were so wonderful, the worst because nearly everything went wrong. I will share that in detail after I get some sleep.
I got my Christmas bonus while I was gone and my beloved decided that we should spend a portion on a new grill. We have a used one that a friend gave me, but it was a tad small for what we want. So we got a new Grillmaster 5000. Okay, that isn't really what it is called, but that is what Tim Allen would call it. 53,000 BTU, 4 burners (electric start), 10,000 BTU on the side burner (where I am going to keep a pot of coffee warming). It is listed as a commercial grade grill, and looks it. All stainless steel and 7000 pounds. Mary and I could lift it in to the Surburban, had to have two other guys help and one of them went home with a pulled back. I am going to rig it for redundant gas tanks eventually, but for now we will be happy with the one that it came with.
We came back to the house after being gone for a week to find that one of my water pipes had burst. We think that the water had been leaking for only a day and I quickly got it shut off, cut the break and went to Lowes to get the replacement parts (read above paragraph about grill to see how easily sidetracked I can get). Peyton and I worked in the cold dark and got it repaired and will turn the water on in the morning. I am beat! 1,300 miles on the truck in the last 48 hours, about 2,800 total for the trip (side trip to New Orleans added some).
