KOG Bus!!!!

Howdy KOGNation!


I just got her!
A 1953 Park Royale English Touring Bus (double decker).
Can you say party top, and tailgates all over the United States?!

It's a diamond in the ruff, but boy oh boy she is going to be the center of attention at all events the KOGNation shows up to.

More updates and photos to come!

Persistence Beats Resistance

In an effort to protect the innocent, I will leave names out of this KOGBlog....

My title for this go round is ... Persistence Beats Resistance. No guys, I am not talkin' about a recommendation for a new dating philosophy, because remember…

"The Keeper Always gets the girl!"

But I digress….

Lets just say, there has been some problems with the redirect of the website that you have the pleasure to view at this time at keepersofthegrill.com. There are a number of reasons, but let's not get into those right now, because there could be some offensive language, feelings hurt, and the possibility of a lawsuit. :)

Have you ever heard the term "the squeaky wheel gets the oil?" Well, I was that wheel today. I called and emailed a number of folks to get the info I needed to be able to redirect everything myself, and get around one of our biggest problems in the process regarding the domain name transfer. I even called a couple of numbers two or three times.

So, here comes the theme of this email. I finally got to talk to the right person. The person with the knowledge and power to give me the info I needed to get the transfer to go through.

I am so pleased, the programmer is pleased, and you can darn sure bet the VP is pleased.

If you really want something, even if it is a small thing, sometimes persistence is all you need to get past all of the "NO's" that come your way.

This is the KOGNation signing off, and reminding you… Don’t let the heat control the meat!

How to order a beer in 47 languages

These are not words from the Keeper himself, but words that need to be posted and presented to the KOGNation!


How to order a beer in 47 languages

A public service from the Esperanto League for North America

Of course, carrying on a conversation is harder than ordering a beer. To learn a language, you probably have to study for years. Unless you choose a language you can learn four times faster. One that two million people around the world speak, one with hundreds of books and magazines, music, and a culture of international friendliness. And beer. Want to learn more?

A printable PDF version has 26 common languages and fits on one page.
