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

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.

fucking stupid bitch. glad you're ok. there seems to be a surplus of stupidity on the road lately.

Honestly if you're not using it A LOT, you'd be fine with any cheaper make/model. I know your pain though, took forever for me to decide!

yeah, dammit, I overthink things sometimes... I like quality, just hate to pay top dollar for it.

I'm not cheap, I'm thrifty. :-)

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.

feels good out in the sun! not sure about on the bike though. me thinks this is a better day to cut the grass.

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.

Pick up an older genesis or better yet, an old summit. People don't know what they have.

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!

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.

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...  

WTF!   http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/3786356914.html

Never be able to keep the front end on the ground....

Great, thanks.  I have a pet project I need help with.

"Hello big gas man"...  she said.

We.....WE have a new grill just because you can outcook me doesn't negate the fact it's OURS

And it's a 4 burner + ceramic sear inside + side burner + double door storage underneath. Sears, got ours for $285 marked down from $400. Good size cooking area, cast iron grates http://m.sears.com/productdetails.do?partNumber=07123679000P&reviewCount=5&threshold=0.0&defaultFullfillment=DDC&itemSrc=Online

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?

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...

Well played lil lady.....well played

Holy shit...

this is the one I been wanting to get.  Some good reviews some bad.  I am guessing the bad are from people that get the heat to high and burn it out.

Saw that one last year or so...  Really have my mind set on stainless.  Want the side burner option too.

My charbroil wasn't too bad either. Picked it up for $99 in the summer of 08 and used it almost 5 years before it was completely rusting out

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...

Charbroil is no longer the throw away grills they once were, matter of fact they rate as some of the very best now. Weber is "not" the grills they once were IMHO, and more expensive is not always better. I am a a charcoal man, but will use a gas grill for convenience sometimes.

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.

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...

Looks a lot better today!  Liking the Portal tab.

This is what paid for the new software, which enables us to use a mobile site. This was the catalyst to all this change. This new software allows us to do much more with mobile than we could on vBulletin. No real need for an app. There was a post or a thread about this a while back. 

Sweet!  Thanks for all your hard work.  Looks much better today btw.

Yeah NBC just tried to explain away the misinformation as "war fog". "In the confusion, bodies were being counted twice". I call bullshit, and please wait until you have the facts BEFORE you report. Don't worry about your damn ratings!

^^^  This. 

the "Hand Jays for Track Days" promotion has been immensely popular.  To prevent black/purple wiener, I'll soon be introducing "Blow Jays for Track Days" program.  Lighter on my penis, rougher on your larynx.  Details to come.  Soon. Very soon.  Almost... almoooooost.... ok, ok, just spit up into that sink there.

First time rep right there.  Had to laugh out loud...
