180/366---Almost All Moved In, and All I Need Is My George Foreman Grill

Catch-light (--unpacking--In My New House)--so bus has added a photo to the pool:

180/366---Almost All Moved In, and All I Need Is My George Foreman Grill

wow its been a crazy couple days packing up all our stuff and moving to a new place, so many boxes and so much unloading half sleep deprived its now 10:31pm and this is what was going on for day 180. Inspiration from George never fails..

Story:::: It had been a long long day and Danny had moved 241 boxes, 3 couches, 52 post it notes off the wall, 2 bags of ice and a bookshelf that he stubbed his toe on. He knew where nothing was as the new house lay scattered with objects everywhere and boxes that he only labeled "photography stuff" or "random". But the one rule was that the George Foreman Grill ride up front in the car and be within sight at all times. It made sound like an odd rule but ill tell you why. In 2008 Danny was on a photo assignment traveling through Texas when he came across this odd scene outside of a restaurant called "Big Texan Steak Ranch" This is a steak house that has there "World-Famous FREE 72oz. STEAK DINNER (if eaten in 1 hour)" tradition, and low and behold today the famous George Foreman (former heavy weight champion boxer) was there and today and only today he was cooking up those massive 72oz steaks on his "george foreman grill". Now the deal always was that you get the meal free and today only if you do finish the steak and win you also get to take home one of his limited addition grills for you to keep.
Now there were only 10 spots available for the day and from the luck of a draw Danny got picked to be one of the people trying. So we all sat down and George was there with his grill making these steaks into perfection...hes a master on that grill they say --- All 10 people got served there streak and the competition was on. 10 men 1 winner. All the contestants started out strong but after about 10 minutes a few dropped out with stomach pains and then a few more gave in not to long after and in the end there was just me vs pablo bit for bit we were neck and neck with the last 4 ounces to go and then something happened that danny was not proud of but he stood up on the table as everyone looked at him and they thought he was gonna say something but he just walked over to George and sucker punched him in the face knocking the former champ out cold --then grabbed the "limited edition" grill jumped back in his car, putting on his getaway music and made way to the Canadian border never to be seen again.....
