One man's trash might be another man's treasure

     While out cruisin the highways and byways I spotted a pile of junk on a persons front lawn. Having scavenger DNA and a keen eye for treasure I eyeballed this particular piece on top of the pile shining like pot of gold. I immeadiately pulled over and so did another car, as a little ol'lady emerged from her 63 caddy and began sprinting toward my pile. Not to be out done and relying on my high school training as a sprinter of 50 or so years back, I remembered the first one out the blocks had the advantage. Knowing she was closer and even with my training I knew it didn't look good, and instantly it came to me.....Hey lady, you dropped your purse.  She stopped, I flew bye and grabbed the object of desire and skidaddled it back to my truck. I did feel bad about lying, but that training came in handy to.......in confession speaking with the Priest.
     So it was a pretty clean piece, did't need much cleaning at all. I believe it'll be working for a living soon doing what it was intended to do. Kinda of like a rescue, given another chance at bbq life so to speak. How bout you, find any treasure lately?

Opportunity is a fleeting moment, strike while the iron is hot.

Well at least you didn't tackle her to get there first lol

.It was touch and go there, time was passing before my eyes, choices were few, but the thought was dismissed when I saw the surveillance cameras on the house. Additionally if you have something like this you realize they get really dirty and carboned up quickly so keeping it looking pretty isn't a reality. Having these small brushes will bring it back to new, that's a chore every time you use it.....best rule of thumb is clean it the best you can and carry on, it adds to the flavor.
