The Side Effects of Endorphins

I am overwhelmed cleaning the garage. Over the years we have gathered so much fluff,and I do not know what is good what to throw away, what to give to charity, and we are running out of space.

One of these days, we will live the American dream and have a car in the garage

We have a grill that I imagine cost us a lot of money. Being a vegan, we have not used the grill in years. This grill is macho, built for men who liked their plank steaks on the grill and onions and peppers on the side. I hope that sounded right as my meat-eating vernacular is twenty years out a date. This grill could do all of that.

I decided to sell the grill on Craigslist. Well not initially, as my first strategy was to it put on the curb and hope someone takes it. I put a sign out on it that said “vegan grill rarely used, and it is free”. While wheeling it out the curb, I met my neighbor Miles, and he said why not you just put it on Craigslist. Miles is from the UK, and that is the story in my life. People from other countries know what to do in the United States better than I do.

So, I listed the fancy grill on Craig’s List. The last time I used Craig’s List I sold a piano in two or three hours. A grill is more difficult to sell than a piano. Especially at the price of zero dollars. I got questions from people that were downright dumb or above my pay range for this mini task. One person asked me will it fit into a CUV. I do not know what CUV is.

It did not take long, as a person said they would like to buy our grill. They said they would be here soon to pick it up. Logically, I made a sign up and said it was sold. I remembered on craigslist, they said beware of frauds.

The person who fell in love with our grill, took a while to get here. Because of this, I got questions from people asking me all kind of weird questions. Someone wanted to pick up the grill at once. But I held out for our first offer. I do not know how Online selling works, so it seemed like the right thing to do.

I sent a note to the buyer. I may go to the gym, or I may cook dinner so you can just load it into your car without me.

And she finally showed up at 9 o’clock at night. It was dark and I hate to admit this she was the most normal person in the world. She came with her dog, and there was no way we would get the grill in her car without a bit of creativity. That is unless I took some of the grill apart. I am not the handiest person in the world, but I found the tools needed and performed surgery on the grill.

Despite all the ominous foreshadowing, everything went easy, and the grill slipped into the back of the car very much against the run of play.

I am happy to give the grill to her. I am not using it, and she needs it. I told her if she has any problems. I am not a real expert on grills.

She understood.

Wow the system worked.
