    New toy for me

    Went to the local freds store today and saw metal shelving by the back door. Went in and asked the manager about it and she said to take all i wanted. Got it all loaded and when i was loading the last few pieces she came out and asked if i had gotten what they threw in the dumpster too. I loaded another 17 shelves out of the dumpster and under it was a box of returns, including a returned Ryobi leaf blower/lawn vac, in the box with all attachments. I got home and looked it over, put gas in it, primed it, it started on 3rd pull. I plan on using it a lot. Also a few dvd players and small stereo boom boxes that i havent checked yet. Gonna take the good shelves to the flea market and use a few in my booth and sell the rest to other vendors. Damaged ones going to yard tomorrow.

    That was a good day,I had a pretty good hit after work. scored an old tv and a dryer. best of all made a good contact with the owners of the consignment store,said they been looking for a place to dispose of unwanted electronics. Also picked up the dryer and talked to the folks at the rent to own, he said in the future to help myself.
