Doug Has Gas!

Our BBQ is hooked up and ready for grilling!

The previous owners ran a pipe under the concrete from one side of the house to the other, but never ran a gas line or hooked it up. We didn't realize it wasn't hooked up until we invited friends over for dinner and couldn't get the grill to work. PG&E offers a free service to come out and check gas lines, so they helped us figure it out.

Doug drilled a hole through the side of the house and hook up the gas line. He's so handy! I think he's been having steak withdrawals and couldn't wait any longer. I would have been in full bomb squad gear scared it would blow up (a side note: I had to relight the pilot light of our water heater a few months back and called my parents because I was scared it was going to blow up in my face. I told my mom, "If I don't call you back in 5 minutes, I blew up. Man I wish I had a welders mask." HAHA) While we were running the BBQ to make sure it was working properly and letting it heat up and burn off it's new-ness, I was entertained by all the bees on our orange tree. Here are a couple photos I took. I don't think we've had this many bees around; it's great! I sure hope the tree fruits this year!
