I was in the backroom when I heard Steve screaming. I thought the man was having a heart attack, so I dashed to the terminal to find him standing in front of the windows.
“What’s the matter?” I cried.
He stretched forth his hand and pointed. “My grill! my grill!!”
I glanced out the window to find the howling wind pushing the cooker due north at top speed.
“Aren’t you going to save it?” I asked, ready to jump at the task.
Steve shook his head. “No, I want to see how far it goes.”
I shrugged. “Well, it’s your grill.”
We stood by and watched the speeding barbeque race across the tarmac toward the 15,000 gallon fuel tank some seven hundred feet away. Thankfully the grill veered away from the large metal object and opted for the grass. When the wheels hit the turf, the cooker did three complete aerial somersaults. I gave it a ten for performance.
Steve cried out triumphantly, “All right!”
Upon inspection, the bent barbeque is now handle free, but it still cooks a mean burger.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad. Ps. 126:2-3
This is hilarious! I am laughing so hard I am crying! Your stories, your life is a hoot! you have the gift of making people laugh!
Thank you, dear Cathy. You have made my day!
God Bless You!
Maby whatever you cooked in wasn’t dead yet !! LOL… God Bless Bro pat.
Hello, Pat. I hadn’t thought of that! Maybe it was a runaway Cow!
God Bless You as well!
I’ve heard of Have Gun Will Travel but a grill…

Hello, Karin. And it traveled well!
Happy 4th and God Bless you & yours!
Great story Dei. It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to laugh at the happenings around us. Sometimes our lives are real comedies
God Bless You.
Thank you, Bill. The airport can be a comedy theater all its own!
God Bless you & yours!
What a Great Story, Lady Dei!! I had such a visual–amazing that it only suffered a handle loss. For a minute, I was holding my breath, thinking there’d be an explosion with the fuel tank! God is good–and so is laughter!! God bless you abundantly–have a fun Fourth!! love, sis Caddo
Thank you, Caddo. I’m glad it missed the tanks too because the grill was packing propane.
God Bless You!
I’m laughing too! Not sure I had a good laugh yet today, so thank you!!! Glad it didn’t go to far away! Glad bless you and the joy you bring to others!
Hello, Debbie. I’m glad you had a good laugh! Stay tuned for whatever happens next!
God Bless you & yours!
Wow!
Last night, my friend’s umbrella patio table met a similar fate! However, it wasn’t salvageable, because the tabletop was glass. I’m glad you and yours are okay! God bless you!
Paulette
Hello, Paulette. Sorry about your friends table. Sounds like a mess. It would too windy here to consider any kind of glass table.
God Bless you & yours!
Hahahahahaha! I watched a tree come down in my back yard, but yours sounds much more exciting.

Hello, Angie. I’m glad I don’t have trees on the port — no telling what kind of stories would come from those limbs.
God Bless You!
Go grill, go!
Never a dull moment at the hanger… is it safe to fly? Seriously? God bless.
Hello, Mike. Yeah, it’s safe to fly because they’re up in the air!
But my big secret is — placing the Lord’s angels on the pilot’s wings. Makes for a safer environment!
God Bless You!
LOL! I love the fact the two of just watched it run away!
Hello, Karen. We cheered it on until the very end, then we drove down to see what kind of damage the grill had suffered.
God Bless You!
Made me laugh as I pictured the speedie BBQ, is that your version of Meals on Wheels in action. We do it by car out here, like in everything we`ll catch up !!

Ron
Hello, Ron. It was a comical event for sure. Thanks for stopping by.
God Bless You!
Hi Dei, talk about running hot, bit like being grilled when you have done something wrong or as Ron said meals on wheels, do you have them in America ? the Goverment provide them for Seniors for a very small cost, they have their meals made and delivered and yes on the run, so they stay hot.
Thanks for sharing , loved it – Annie
Hello, Annie. They do have meals on wheels, but they’re usually in the bigger cities. And there are services for seniors too!
Thanks for stopping by & God Bless You!
How funny! That is definitely a new take on fast food…or drive throughs…or take out…lol. How funny!!!
Hello, Nana. You definitely wouldn’t want to eat that fast food — it would have had bits of grass and dirt by the end of the race.
Thank you & God Bless You!
