I DON'T WANT TO GO ON THE CART!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBxMPqxJGqIMy lame-ass issue is that
unless I can at least somewhat commit to a thing, I essentially must drop it. I have a list of other hobbies over the years I either could not afford monetarily or time wise, so it's not just grilling. I was prepping to cook or buying for a cook, doing the cook, cleaning later, nearly every day. And then take pictures/video, edit, post, reply.
I doubt I ever learned a sane "system," and so much of that would consume more than a few hours each day. Unsustainable for me, and I'm not even employed so I *should* have the time, but nope.
Last year we got another dog. That's 3 dogs and now 4 cats that live on the large wraparound porch. They live the best life, no leash necessary and only caged when the horses get fed so that they don't harass them. Run all over the place but never far from home. But there's a large cage right where much of my grill stuff is positioned, the puppy ate my Performer's wires and ruined a bunch of other small stuff strewn all over. The wife and kids asked why I "don't grill any more." I'm
over it, and so so much more.
It's been a busy summer with family stuff, some travel, and my somewhat large (for me) project of getting some old mowers around here in proper working order. Still working on that, and then I accepted the task from a brother-in-law to fix his truck ... and so it goes. I'm not a natural at it, so research and trips to the store and YouTube how-to videos consume time. All that crap normal people don't do when they're working instead.
