Chillin' with the Grillin'

We now have a new grill for Memorial Day festivities. The burners on our old one were just about eroded away, so Liz went out and bought this 4-burner baby. We'll give it its initial work-out tomorrow at the pool bash. . The only problem is what to do with the old one. Methinks it's time to make a midnight donation to Salvation Army.

Bah, no need for that. Just leave it on the curb with a sign that says "Free" and it should be gone by morning. ;)

Congrats on the new grill too. We're still living in the dark ages with our charcoal hand-me-down. Have fun on Monday!

i've seen people do that around here. i wonder if "Free" implies that it no longer works, which isn't the case.

i therefore think i'd get rid of it faster by putting a "$5" sign on it.

Once when I was a teenager, my mom stuck a bunch of my younger siblings' toys on the curb for people to take if they wanted. We expected them to disappear right away. Instead, a crazy old woman stuck her head up to the screen on our kitchen window and yelled, "Ma'am!" at me until I turned around and saw her (which really freaked me out, btw). She just wanted to ask if she could take the toys. I mean, duh! That's why they were on the curb!

True story.

there's something about "free" that always seems to be too good to be true. if i'd pick it up and start to wlak away with it, i'd keep expecting the cops to jump out and bust me.

OTOH, if an item at the curb has a "$5" sign on it, i'm quite comfortable plunking down a fiver, and walking off with the item.
