Shut the front gate!
What a delema you have got yourself in. Both great choices.
Now, you say "next red" meaning you have had 1or 2 already. Me, I would get the webber out and fire it up. While it is heating to the exact temp needed you have time to have at least 2 more reds. Then, while the food is cooking you have time for a couple of more reds.
You asked for someone to help solve the problem. PROBLEM SOLVED.
Just remember one thing though. This GN thing is a full time job, 24/7 even. No days off. You deserve that red, or more.
I will more than likely be looking at that same beach in about a months time I think.

Dear DD
Not only have you got the webber out and I assume cooking, you are having a nice quite red AND posting post on the Grey Nomads Forum.

A 'rod' might have been a better choice, to put something in/on the Webber, and.... then followed by a satisfying 'red'....then everybody's happy.....sounds great anyway..good luck....

I think you better either get the webber out now while you remember what it is for or forget about cooking totally. By the way what Nth Qld beach?

My brother owned and trained a racehorse called
Go the Red.
He was able to purchase many many cartons of Red from his prize money not to mention his betting.
So..... we say....Go the Red.

While reading this thread and enjoying the comments, It also got me thinking about those adverts warning of the regular couple of glasses of wine each evening.
I realised last year, when I am away camping, I enjoy a drink every evening, oh and it is a glass of RED. Occasionally two, then three. Then on odd occasions with friends, Happy Hour etc. 4,5,6 drinks. We never normally used have a drink every night. But after retiring from work, our drinking habit increased. We are not heavy drinkers by any means just social occasions. Normally not drinking alcohol every day.
I did notice when camping that I was not feeling as healthy/perky as I was a few years ago, along with weight gain. When I was at home I was usually feeling OK after getting back into the home routine that is, of not drinking a glass of red every night.
I have now stopped reaching for a glass of RED each evening and feel a lot better for it. We still have a glass of wine but now about two glasses a week for me Ellie has one.
I wonder how many others have gone through this increase in Drinking Alcohol each day while doing the relaxing Grey Nomad life. Has it affected your well-being.

Thought Heart Specialists said red wine was good for the ticker? I drink to make my heart happy and it's funny how a bundy and coke cancels out female voices of a night....at least down to a dull roar.
