BBQ Nightmare

I was preparing to post the events of the July 4th Celebration (from July 3rd), when... a nightmare occured. It was like the tail end of Avalon I tell ya'!

THE GRILL caught on fire. My first instinct... Grab a fuckin' camera. (Thanks Sis!) Only, I couldn't find it (and as is usual, was right in front of me in a place that is not assigned for the placement of a camera... THUS my rationale for putting everything in a certain location is now bolstered!)

So anyway... I go onto the deck and there's flames flying everywhere around THE GRILL which has seen so many masterpieces in its day! After not finding a camera and getting sickened by the sounds of burning "stuff" (paint, wood and such things that you don't want to see cooked on a grill) I decided to grab water in the coffee pot which so recently had housed an awesome batch of Cafe con leche. (2 pots actually; of water.)

THE GRILL lives, but the trauma lives. THE GRILL, however, now carries more of a scarred look, like an old soldier that has seen one too many close-quarter fights.

I give you... THE GRILL... photographed just after the FIRE OF 2011!
