New Toy

My wife thawed out steaks for dinner this evening and that gave me the perfect excuse to buy a new toy.

My old gas grill (that I have had for about 10 years now) burned out the burner more times than I care to fix anymore, so I scooted on down to Lowes and picked this one up. If it lasts me 10 years than it was worth the $189 bucks.

Of course I called my wife and asked permission before I went and bought it. Just like a good husband should. I know...I know, I'm whipped. But it was her fault for thawing out the steaks in the first place.

I need to get one of those. I'm getting tired of messing with charcoal and ashes.

Good job notifying the wife.
You wouldn't want to end up in a situation like her brother (the little one). We'll be over August 1st for more grillin'

Nice. I have a side burner on mine that I rarely use but when I do need it for something liked pan fried fish it's great.

You are whipped.

You're not whipped that's for sure. She wouldn't have let you go for a long weekend if you were. Did that make any sense??? I'm dead tired....

Naaaaaah...you ain't whipped, you just display an uncommon curtesy of common curtesy. You just suggested it and she agreed! Very galant of you!

My Love shall go out and buy the dayum thang just b'cuz! More power to him...I won't keep him from his toys. Nor he mine. *giggles*

A wife's night off from the kitchen is well worth $189. Smart Mrs Kerrcarto for thawing steaks.

Great diplomacy, Kerrcarto. Clever wife. And lucky kids. No wonder you're a fun family when you celebrate birthdays. Those photos were so nice.

Yes, Mrs. Kerrcarto knew exactly what she was doing when she thawed the steaks. :)

Badass dude! I'm sofa king jealous. My grill is about to fall apart from massive use (no not kind), but at least I'll have an excuse to get a new one in a month when I finally fucking move!

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday to celebrate with you, but in your honor, tonight I'm grillin' some ka-bobs, baked tater, corn on the cob and lot's o' grapefruit juice. I tried crackin' a beer tonight and it still doesn't taste right. I don't think I've ever drank that much in three days in my entire life. Damn that was fun!

Let's do it again!
