Nice day for the school picnic. Things started out a little hairy. I had checked the day before to make sure Rick had got the propane ordered, no problem, but when it arrived it was found there was no hose to hook it to the grill. Rick and I went over to the stadium to see if we could find it, no luck. A call had been made to get a service guy to come out, hoping he could get it working. It would be awhile until he got there because he was on a service call. On that paid, not a good will call like ours.
In the mean time Kevin and I headed out to scrounge up grills. We went to his house and got his and Ed’s next door. I guess while we were gone Ted was going nuts blaming people rather than trying to solve the problem like we were. as it turns out the service guy got there and got the grill up and running in less than ten minutes. Using that grill, plus the other two and everything went off swimmingly. I grilled a bunch of hamburgers and singed the hair on my arm. What a treat.
Pat told me a little more about the “speech”. He was pretty sure it was Patrick who wrote the speech since one of the line in the speech required a response from the audience and Patrick got up and did it. Besides the kid who did the speech didn’t have the imagination necessary to write it himself.
Got in a hike, pretty warm. There were kids playing in the river by the rope.
