    NOT a good start to the week

    First I took a truck load of ABS plastic to my plastic guy and found out that he's going out of business. Ugg, no place to take my plastic. Then went to the thrift store that I pick up thiere scrap from and someone came by over the weekend and took all the scrap and left all the tv's. D@#m thieves!!! Then went by my friends place to pick up some computer printers and scanners and found out that my scrap yard cought on fire. Errr!! Hope they will still take my steal. I'm not looking for pitty, just had to get that off my chest, thanks for listenning.

    Steal? Or Steel?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Well glad you are able to smile about it. At least your truck did not catch fire, have a blow out or something like that. Keep pushing you will have more good days than bad. I know week will be better for you.

    No truck didn't catch fire but just had to put $500.00 into it. I'm just clad I had the money to fix it. It was down for a week and I'm trying to recoop my money and somebody stoled all the scrap from my bigest account. Well life goes on and so will I. I had a long sretch were everything was going good so I was due for a little set back.
