bye old/hi new

this is the weight machine in our garage. a couple of weeks ago we made the mistake of going to a sporting goods store and kara saw another weight machine, smaller, smoother, and she wanted it. it's there in the box behind the other weight machine. for obvious space reasons we had to say goodbye to the old before effectively saying hello to the new.

yesterday morning i placed an ad on craigslist. it was my first experience selling anything on this site. i'm not kidding; 12 hours later - no, closer to 9 - the machine was gone and kara had the asking price in her pocket. it was thrilling how easy it was to (1) unload the thing and (2) recoup some of our losses.

today, while i'm up here typing up medical reports, she'll be in the garage assembling the new machine. pretty exciting.
