Why the @!&%# Aren't These Cooking?

Last night was the first night in the last few nights where I had a "real meal," after the wife had been gone for a few days gambling in Oak Grove, Kentucky with her cousin Lorie, and I was mainly engaged in a little bachelor time. I decided to throw some chicken thighs on the grill with some barbecue sauce, and plopped a couple of potatoes on wrapped in tin foil as well. When it comes to certain foods, I generally cook "to temperature," and so at one point it looked like the thighs were becoming done, I went out and checked the temperature and they were really low even though they'd been cooking for a while. I checked a couple more times but the temperature wasn't getting anywhere near where they needed to be. What the literal !@%&*? What's going on? Finally it dawned on me. Somehow I had changed my thermometer to Celsius. Ugh. Luckily, I realized my error before cooking my chicken to the desired 165 degrees which would have turned out to be 329 degrees in Fahrenheit. I'd have had briquettes.
