What to do????

[dragonheart]

As some of you know, a couple of weeks ago I had an unfortunate event involving my grill.  After said event, we just never got around to recovering the grill.

Over the past couple of weeks I have spied the grill cover hanging on the deck rail and have thought to myself - someone really needs to put the cover back on the grill.  Of course in my mind someone equates to either my husband or my son.  Needless to say, it never got covered.

As it is a really nice day out, I decided to take a little yard stroll and check on the progress of my gardens and gauge the amount of weeding that I would be faced with this weekend.  Well I spy the grill cover and decide since someone hasn't replaced it yet, I might as well do it.

I don't for the life of me know why I raised the lid before covering it, but I did and imagine my surprise to see a bird's nest with 3 teeny little eggs in it.  Right on the grill grating - pretty as you please.

So of course, right away, my thoughts start churning:
* this puts the grill out of commission for the next several weeks (how long does it take for the eggs to hatch and the babies leave?) Ok, no worries, I can live with that, me and grill aren't exactly on speaking terms at the moment - my husband and son will just have to deal....
*can't cover the grill as mama bird needs an in/out

And then, it hits me - like a 2 x 4....

I have 40 people coming over in two weeks for a backyard cookout/celebration in honor of my son's high school graduation.

Now what ?  I can't stand the thought of throwing out the nest and eggs and I can't move the nest - that amounts to pretty much the same thing and I really don't relish the thought of buying another grill as I just paid a small fortune for the stainless steel monstrosity currently serving as a bird incubator.

Ideas? Thoughts? Help.....
