Just had a milestone birthday. My lovely wife got me the ultimate grill. This thing is awesome. Beautiful stainless steel. It uses wood pellets. It smokes. It bakes. It barbecues. It has a section that gets up to 900 degrees for searing steaks. It connects to my phone, so it will tell me when the grilled items have reached the optimal temperature. The problem is this - my old propane grill was 20+ years old, so it just sat out there on the deck, getting rained on. Who cares - right? Now with this new one - I am compelled to cover it and wheel it under the overhang to keep it protected from the elements. This must occur AFTER the grill has cooled down, the food has been consumed and I am now on my 4th beer. I have to go out there, unfold the cover and carefully place it over the grill, working it back and forth to make sure all the corners are covered and the cover has no wrinkles, etc. Brutal.

In the 21st century, in a country that likes to think of itself as the greatest in the world, electric service shouldn't be hung on poles where it is vulnerable to the weather. Just sayin'.

Having the old-not-antique lamp on my bedside table fritz out this morning (and no, it's not just the bulb). It's an old-not-antique family thing and I will be sorry to lose it. Might see if I can take it somewhere to be fixed. It needs a new shade too.
