This is the time of year when everyone, especially anyone selling Fall merchandise, begins to warn that summer is almost over. Not that Fall is a deterence to people who like to grill outdoors. Many a day, even in early winter, I walk out to the smell of ribs or whatever wafting through the neighborhood. Meanwhile, here are the instruments that make it all happen.

And this one because it looks like it’s been around for a while.

Here’s one lurking.

And here’s one really lurking.

And here’s one (from last winter) patiently waiting.
