  1. Myrtle is cool, but I've never been during season. You realize we just came back from a week there, right? About all we did was wander the shops and eat seafood. Barefoot Landing has a bunch of interesting shops in a condensed area. We stayed at a condo on the beach this time and it was nice to get up at sunrise and walk the beach first thing everyday. Water was cold so there was only one day we could swim. Anyway, find the local eateries. Better food and cheaper. Good Fellas in North Myrtle is one such... Charter a half day fishing trip - in shore versus off shore, if you think sea sickness could be a problem. Gonna run you a couple hundo, but if you like fishing it's good here. In 2011 we used Mark Stacey http://www.oceanislefishingcharters.com/charter_info.cfm I try not to overplan on vacations, so I don't have a lot of suggestions for you other than that. Do your research on line.
  2. fucking stupid bitch. glad you're ok. there seems to be a surplus of stupidity on the road lately.
  3. yeah, dammit, I overthink things sometimes... I like quality, just hate to pay top dollar for it. I'm not cheap, I'm thrifty. :-)
  4. nice! I glanced at a few grills while I was at Home Depot today picking up parts for a new fountain for the wife. still undecided.
  5. feels good out in the sun! not sure about on the bike though. me thinks this is a better day to cut the grass.
  6. Uh, yeah... 36 at my house right now. I'm ready for a nice weekend of riding, just not in the 30's. Probably after lunch.
  7. I definitely go for re-use when I can, just not seeing much in the way of Weber's on c-list... You mentioned fuel economy - not having owned a gas grill before, is there a noticeable difference between grills? I can only assume that the larger the grill the more fuel it'll use, but then my turkey fryer is like a frickin' jet engine and it doesn't seem to use much!
  8. Anybody upgrade lately and want to get rid of a 4th Gen? My daughter is on me to upgrade her from the 3rd Gen. Thanks.
  9. So get this... The grill on craigslist that I posted? I was e-mailing and phone calling with the guy and was set to go see it this afternoon or maybe this weekend when he stopped responding. Then the add disappeared... Then he leaves me a voicemail to say that he was sorry but he sold it to his neighbor. Grrr, craigslist sometimes...
  10. Never be able to keep the front end on the ground....
  11. Great, thanks. I have a pet project I need help with.
  12. "Hello big gas man"... she said.
  13. Nice looking grill... So, let's talk about the sear burner function. Different from the infrared function? How specifically do you use it to enhance your grilling? There are time's when I would like a SMOKING HOT grill to get a true rare/medium rare steak the way I like them. Would you use the sear burner to do your steaks that way?
  14. So,do I even need tapatalk now? I've never looked into the app before and now that I have I see its a paid app for $2.99...
  15. Holy shit... http://columbus.craigslist.org/hsh/3821479807.html
  16. Saw that one last year or so... Really have my mind set on stainless. Want the side burner option too.
  17. I think I remember you posting up about getting rid of it? Was it too far gone to rebuild? I've thought about surfing c-list for a used grill...
  18. Yeah, I'm getting that impression about Charbroil. And I'll probably always do the main course on charcoal, but I want to be able to do sides and sauces outside, too.
  19. I'm a charcoal man. Always have been. Won't get rid of my Weber Kettle anytime soon. It will always have a place on my patio. But I'm feeling the need for a nice gas grill to enhance the whole outdoor cooking experience. My thoughts/needs: Gotta be stainless (duh), large zoneable cooking area, side burner, work surface, enclosed storage. Not sure I need infrared - seems like a nice option, but really why? I'd love to stay with Weber, but DAMN the expense! Charbroil seems to make a nice commercial grade model... Let's have your ideas and what have you got that works for you? It's Memorial Day weekend and all the stores are putting out nice sales on grills. BTW, Lowe's is doing the two 20 pound bags of Kingsford for $9.99 right now...
  20. Looks a lot better today! Liking the Portal tab.
  21. Sweet! Thanks for all your hard work. Looks much better today btw.
  22. First time rep right there. Had to laugh out loud...
