I had a hard time picking which picture I wanted to be my picture of the day for this Friday. It was an exciting day at work. We had jugglers. There was fire. It was great. However, this is supposed to be a thing where I share what made me smile, and while I enjoyed the jugglers, what really made me laugh was earlier in the day. When I went outside to check on how lunch was coming (we grilled hot dogs) I found that to steady one of the grills, the guys had propped it up with a gym mat, which was fine. However, they forgot to put in the ash-catcher thingy, and as luck would have it, I walked out to see a smoldering hole in the mat. When I pointed it out, both of the cooks were surprised that this had happened, and from the depth of the hole, it wasn't the newest of developments...Mike ran in to get water to cool it off, and extracted it like a surgeon, using tongs. I know, I know, not the most gripping of tales, but it made me laugh, and that's what this blog is about, reminding myself of things that made me smile, and this fits the bill.
