We bought the charcoal grill Sunday evening and the lawn mower came Monday morning after I'd started unpacking the grill. The grill was going to take more room and more time, I assembled the mower first. Next I got almost halfway through putting the grill and my back gave out. I finished the grill Tuesday morning. That is when I too the picture of Fred helping me. While putting the grill I noticed that it's built a bit heavier that they could have gotten away with. Puffy

Am I the only one who doesn't care about the royal wedding? Seems to me that they have almost all the cards in their favor, now it's their move to use what they have for their best. I do wish them happiness, health and long life, as they should want for nothing else.
