PARTYQ!!!

Ok, so my husband is a welder. Means he 'stitches' (welds) metal together...and tends to be quite creative. This gorgeous offering, made up specifically for a party weekend we attended, is recycled from an ex 60 gallon hot water tank. Recycle to the Max!! Old bbq grills make up the internal cooking surface (you know, those old bbq's folks throw out? ya, from them), a lower base inside is set for holding charcoal. This was made as a tailgate/tabletop model (he plans to add legs to it for options). It fills the tailgait of our full size pick up truck.

It's 864 sq inches of cooking surface. We fired it up on his birthday weekend to test run it. Takes and hour to heat up as we expected. Heat was abt 300 on the ends and 600 in the center (we did have the coals mostly in the center). Heat lasted abt 3 hrs (we were still roasting marshmallows on it as it cooled). So we had variable heat cooking surface too.

This shot is from the next party weekend, shows how much food was already on the grill and the room still to go if wanted. Dave was the cook ( thanks much to the chef...you rock in so many more ways too my friend!!!)

And....we fired it back up in the am too, and threw the griddles on the grill's so we could cook pancakes for everyone! that worked like a charm too.

Summer just got a loooooot better!....bring it on baby...!

mmmmmm ya

Summer Sun, Peekaboo....

Well, well, well..... and please don't think I 'planned' this one with any sense of precision or organization.....although I really like the fact that the sun is peeking thru the 2 treetops here.....

It's completely random! Yes it is.

My camera has a feature to take several shots in a second or two. I set it on highspeed (it takes 5 pics in a matter of splitting time)...and what better to use as your flying down the highway on the way to a night away from home.

I cropped out the antenna of the truck, and the only planning involved was to pick a section to snap along, that had no hydro lines on my side of the road! LOLOL

Sometimes you never know what you will have captured til afterwards....just let er fly....

Now That's a 'Summer Sky' !!!

On the way up to the Camp near Lavant Station on Saturday afternoon....a more perfect day you couldn't have ordered up on a layaway plan!

I'm so glad my camera's with me everywhere I go these days. Always something to snap a few pic's at.
