Okay so it’s not really his fault but still……….
Since I joined this board, I’ve always wanted a “Pigvilion”. Who hasn’t?!?!I’m now retired so being on a fixed income, an umbrella is as close as I’m going to get. So off we go! We purchase an umbrella for the express intent of staying dry while grilling. We were “guided” to one that was on sale, (it had a stain @ $90.00). Well it rained tonight and we had “soup” instead of chops. At least it seemed like that. My first clue was Nancy laughing at me from inside the house as I told her, “How cool is this”? I had a hat on and didn’t notice the rain coming down on top of me. What little was there I assumed was the wind. There was no wind. The second clue came when it REALLY started coming down. An inspection of the inside of Wonder Umbrella showed water coming in FAST. The final clue came when the thermometer on the Performer went from 400F to around 180F. It’s pretty bad when your wife looks at the plated chops and asks if this is juice or water. A glass of wine with my wife and things didn’t seem so bad after all. Lampe, it’s still all your fault!
