    got a call out of the blue

    I guess this guy got my number from someone I hauled an appliance out of her garage this summer. He calls and says he has a farm and people keep bringing stuff out there and if I want I can have it all.....just clean it up out there. Well, I get out there and got my first load out today. Drove over a scale before I break it down and I got 3500 lbs, 10 appliances. There are still 5 HUGE feeders, 12 appliances, 8 air conditioners, 2 snowmobiles and about 4 or 5 more car trailer loads left. Not to mention the dozen cars he's going to see if I can haul out (he only owns 2 of them). Its about 45 miles away, but for $30 in gas I'll load this stuff any day!
