    Really like it a lot. I enjoy doing breakfast. Real nice when doing fajitas. I got it as a gift from work for 25 years. This is the 2 burner 28 inch model. If I was to buy one I'd get the 4 burner 36 inch model.

    Earlier I was just about to take a nap and the phone rings. It's work. A machine is down, tooling problem.
    Sure I'll come in.
    17 min drive to work.
    In and out of the plant in 15 minutes.
    Get paid for 4 hours at time and a half.

    Does a Tail Gate Lock Count?

    I picked up a Blackstone on clearance from Walmart around Christmas time last year and it is a great way to cook. Breakfast, chicken fried rice, quesadillas are all really easy.

    Mine is a 28 inch three burner. I have quite the collection of accessories, the dome, smasher, and several sets of spatulas and tongs. They are worth it!!! Get one and enjoy!!

    It cooled down to 92* so I thought I would tackle the cracked sprinkler pipe. It wasn't easy because the pipe going under the wall was mostly in cased in concrete from the wall above.

    I managed to work it loose enough to pull it out and replace it with a new piece. That made it much easier to attach the coupler and 90* elbow.

    There was enough flex at the other end to use another coupler instead of a slip joint.

    It wasn't that hard of a job but an awkward location.

    I wanted to add a second pipe while I have it dug out but I will have to remove some cement to fit it in.

    By then I was too hot and sweaty. I will continue later on.

    Late night update. I checked the work in the post above, no leaks. :thumbsup:

    I was digging thru my stuff and have a 1 inch by 16" masonry drill bit.

    I can add that second 3/4" PVC line no problem with it.

    I will build a Koi pond soon so running a line inside the planter bed to the pond makes the most sense.

    It will be there to top off the pond if too much water evaporates in the summer.

    It will use a float valve so I wont have to manually watch and add water.

    I will create a whole new post or bunch of them when I build it.
