Brace yourself, peeps, because I just did a few calculations and, if my math is right, I've finally banked-up enough courage to state with near certainty that 2004 will be the year that I will probably most likely go ahead and buy a new grill. w00t!

Sure, buying a grill sounds easy, but for reasons I don't fully understand - other than the fact that I'm what some might call a 'cheapass' - I've been unsuccessful in pulling the trigger for something like 4 consecutive years now. It's gotten so bad that Libby refuses to even go to the grill store with me anymore. ("Jesus Christ just buy one already.") Yes, I'm an idiot, thanks.

Without question the new one will be gas. I've already got a charcoal unit and it works fine. Well, except for the lid doesn't fit all that well since I backed over it in the Jeep one morning, but it still holds the heat in, so that's good enough for me. My theory with gas is that you get quicker on and quicker heat. My theory further states that quicker on + quicker heat = quicker meat. So that leaves me with slow-cooking-beer-drinking-newspaper-reading 'real' barbeque on the weekends and faster-yet-some-would-say-fake barbeque on weeknights. But to those I would say "screw you" and "my house is frickin' hot in August, so I'm cookin' outside."

I'm excited.
