no the grips get destroyed when removed. It would take an usual balance of heat and force. The residue still left in the grip would render it useless to reinstall.
But what was the issue with the iron for the head removal? Loose?
Heating the epoxy is necessary to remove the club head. To actually get it loose.

Pretty quiet in here!

@QC - You weren't lying on the "Never buy from Best Buy" comment. We still don't have the stove we paid for 3 weeks ago. We've spent no less than 6 hours on the phone trying to get it resolved. We always get someone who can barely speak English who ultimately "escalates" it to someone else who doesn't speak English. The last gal I talked to was on a shitty speaker phone with car alarms and babies caterwauling the background. I'm not 100% sure what we resolved other than she was escalating it (for the 6th time) with a promise that someone would call us back within 36 hours. Which is the same thing we were told 3 times prior with no phone call at all. And in one instance they told us it had been delivered!

We tried to call the store where we bought it, but all calls are routed to a call service and they will NOT let you speak to the store. I'm at the point where, once I'm done being sick, I'll walk into Best Buy with a dolly and tell them to either refund my money or I'll just grab a stove and leave with it. I paid for a stove and I'll get a stove.

Never again! The only reason we did it this time was that we had a credit for the Kitchenaide that went to **** so we had no choice.

On the positive side, we love the LG fridge. So much nicer than the Kitchenaide.

Brings to mind a call I made for an email I received. Told me of an auto bill paid to Norton for pc protection. And if I wanted a refund to call the number posted. Trouble is when I called it sounded like one of the passengers of an overcrowded Indian ferry. They said all I needed to do was give them my pc application number. So I played along till the last 4 numbers. That’s when I started making sounds of a boat capsizing. Oh to be a fly on the wall of that hoax office.

Stan.... I might be a bit leery of cooking on that grill!!! Had a friend who lost his house to a hot grille sitting too close to the siding! But then I would assume you have a fire extinguisher handy in that back room!!

I'm back, even though you never knew I was gone. Working all morning and into the afternoon. Just got home. Fking underage parties and parents and kids (18) afraid if them finding out about bad decisions and saying things aren't exactly true. At least, that's what I think so far.

nothing but trouble
at least when I partied as a teenager I did not involve my parents or anyone over 18.
Sometimes my parents did involve themselves. That’s when I regretted being at a party in the first place

Yeah, I suspect those bars and my knees might have a bit of conflict.
