my wife is seriously going to kill me (picked up another kettle)

[TroyRedington]

Friday morning I stopped by a couple garage sales while running some errands. I stopped trying to find vintage linens for my wife's art, or weird dolls for MY art.

Well instead I found a 22" brownie. It's a J code with the one touch system (which is totally rusted out) The handles were in really good shape. The body is OK, a few chips. The top handle is bent.
I brought it home. I had to. It was $3.
(the ziplock bag of freaky clown dolls i brought home was FIVE.

so............. what's the problem?

are you weraing a dress?

You got three wood handles for 3 bucks, if you toss away everything else.
Wheels, two decent wheels for later....
or, fix'er up and have a nice classic.

Troy, wives come and go... good ones stay or come back.
Finding a diamond in the rough is rare.
Enjoy yours.
the wife and/or the diamond in the rough.

[Regina S]

Troy, you and Jeff are Weber MAGNETS! Just tell your wives it is not your fault..

[Jeff Kolodziejski]

Hey Regina....FYI...my wife is the one that started this whole thing when she saw a 22 redhead. She liked it much better than the black one we HAD. The rest is history. I even think she might be worse than I am with these grills. She was very bent out of shape when Troy got the lime green one before us. We were on vacation when it posted on clist!

 

[Regina S]

LOL Jeff. What a great gal she must be! I can understand, it is soooooo very addicting. If I had room I would be looking for more also. I have your picture of kettles as my desktop view at work. It is like gadgets or cookbooks for me, I can't get enough. I would have been

about the green one also!
