Bad things only happen in 3's right?....

Ok so in less then 24 hours had some traumatic stuff in the Boras household.  First off last night my Mother in Law had to put her dog down.  Still haven't figured out how to break that to my 2 1/2 year old.  Then this morning found out a older gentleman who worked for me had passed.  Then to top it all off my dealer burnt down.

Hoping to not have a day like this again any time soon....

I raise my kids, cook and golf.  When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.
Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

    Well I guess the good news is that my dealer is going to rebuild so at least it isn't a total loss for him.  Got to work and heard his store was on fire and that was about enough for me today.

    That sounds like an old country song.  The dog dies, your wife leaves you and your pick-up gets stolen.  I hope things improve like the joke when you play country music backward.  Your dog comes back to life, your wife comes back to you and your pick-up gets returned with a full tank of gas.

    If you watch the main video from the link I posted you can see the tops of Eggs looking out of the building at about the 1:10 mark...

    The first two events are truly sad - sorry for your loss.  However, the fire at your Green Egg dealer ... you've got to see the humor in it this morning ... yes?

    - Coming soon ... a "Fire Sale" on BGEs? 
    - BGEs offered for sale at "Fire Fest" prices.
    - Store fire adds new meaning to doing a reverse sear on a BGE
    - ??

    Plus, it was funny to see a digitally aged "johnmitchell" on screen.
