Hi CT, speaking of Cooking on the grill.

I needed to go to Home Depot tonight for Hydrochloric Acid for our pool. It's kept in their outdoor garden, way in the very back because of how dangerous it is. They had these huge gas grills out there. They never put grills out there, and it's an area so far back that customers just don't tend to go back there, except me, I look all around the outdoor areas... {:>))

The sign on them said, " Why pay 399.00, when you can get it for 199.00." The implication to me was that another store sells them for 399.00.

Then this employee walked by, who happened to be the Manager of the Garden and other outdoor needs. I asked him just who sells these grills for 399.00. He said we do...He said he special ordered 16 of them for a Fathers Day Special. He saw my mouth watering over the size and price. Then I mentioned I would have to go to another Garden center that rents open bed trucks for 19.99 for 75 min. He said we do that too. I said well I don't want to take it right now because it waas getting so late. He then gave me some sort of packing slip and said go to the Customer service desk and tell them you want a " Will Call. " Meaning I will call when coming to get it, like tomorrow... My name will be on it... {:>)) He said by morning he was putting them all in the front of the store, and said I guarantee you, these will be all gone in an hr or 2 .....

My old grill is about 6-7 yrs old, and falling apart inside. It has 4 burners, but only 1 now works as of last night...LOL... Talk about timing...

Thank God I needed that Hydrochloric Acid tonight....{:>)))
