What’s a backyard without a BBQ - right?
And when you live on a mountain in Hawaii,
Thank God for friends who help you creatively move
a huge BBQ kitchen center up “a few stairs”.
Below are pictures of the BBQ moving party with a few close friends.
Here are the stairs we need to pull the BBQ up…
think we’ll do it?
or will disaster strike instead?

JP gets his wrist straps on from weight lifting to get ready
to pull up the grill…while the rest of the boys prepare to
push it UP the stairs…
Thank God for strong MEN!!!

Preparing the BBQ - locking it in place with zip ties so it won’t
roll all the way down that steep driveway.
We need to get THAT “refrigerator” looking BBQ thing
up THIS set of steps up the mountain…

AJ carefully observes to make sure all is perfect.
Then he sees all is under control… and checks out the bamboo
lining the driveway and entertains the canines on property.
Zondre is sure having fun! Nothing like job satisfaction!

Capi chases AJ to show him where the grill will go…

Drogo protects the grill. Ain’t nobody gettin’ past ME!

Garlic burgers especially made by Chef J.P.

ahhhh - enjoying the pay-off of a job well done!

Thanks Zondre and AJ and Joe!!! You guys ROCK!!!

Deb and her tennis partner AJ, and her coffee supplier Zondre -
chillin with Drogo after a hard’s day work!

Deb and Joe Lopez, AKA: Trader Joe - the guy who gives me
the luxurious lifestyle “on trade” through PCX, the business
barter and trade company in Hawaii.

Ahhhh - ain’t life GRAND?!? A Dog’s Life… the only REAL
4 hour work week!

Next time - BBQ party with no strings attached! LOL

What a wonderful day. I always enjoy spending time in your back yard. It reminds me of the beauty we all come to Hawaii to enjoy. And I never mind helping out a friend in need. Especially, when it means I get to have some of JP’s great cooking.
Thank you,
Zondre & AJ
