Hi Greg, I’m cheap, I’d install new parts and keep it running. No moving parts that will fail in the middle of a cook, new brackets would be easy, replacement bowl easily obtainable. Replace a few parts and you’re good to go another twenty years!

Looks like a grand day !

This is why I like this site! Generosity and the milk of human kindness over floweth!

It’s like the first scratch on a new guitar, after that you know it’s yours! In jewelry I used to refer to the first scratches as “Velveteen Rabbit subdrome” when it’s a bit scarred, scratched a bit, you know it’s loved! Love it as much as you can!

Nice cook there Tim!

I bought all my “new” grills from Hoekstra hardware on Portage Street here in Kalamazoo. Sadly they are no longer in business after over 100 years, Tom (last family member involved) could not find a buyer and said to me that he was getting old enough to be tired of getting up at the crack of...

One more hit Brett!

You know, I JUST finished my dinner, looking at this makes me wish I had not started it yet!!!!

Thanks Chris, I figured it was something easily conquered by someone more savvy than I! Leave it to a “digital chimp!” Side note, this is one of two sites that I find interesting enough to actually hang around and learn things from! Your administration is a delicate balance as to when to rein in...

Wow, that’s very cool Chris! Just sent in my “ticket” But, I failed to “uncheck” the sign me up box before submitting, but you already know I’m a subscriber of course.

Wife and I had planned on a trip down the road with the grandchildren this summer but her spinal surgery will keep the two of us at home this year. Not even a ten day stretch at the cottage! No fresh whitefish from Big Stone Point! No onion rings from “The Keyhole”! No Mettwurst from Plaths...

Very nicely done sir! I’ll take six, please.

It’s hot, so hot I don’t even really want to go to the door! 96 on the car thermometer when I was wilting out there. I am not built for this stuff! I’m trying to decide if we will just have ice cream for dinner! Now it’s started to rain! There goes the humidity!

Long production things like that hit me that same way! I’ve spent three days prepping, I need to get away from it for a few minutes! Now, that said, I would most likely be on them like white on rice Wednesday! Catch your breath, make some buns grill a few off and have a nice cold frosty beverage...

YOU FORGOT!!!! You’ve got to give me that car!
