    Holy cow, best Sunday ever!!

    I wasn't even the only one out scrapping this past Sunday but I did freaking awesome for curbside shopping with no calls for pickups.

    I made 4 runs and am still breaking stuff down. You all know how much garbage scrapping produces, I've already filled up my truck once with the scrap garbage its unbelievable.

    You all also know how much scrap and time it takes to fill up the different buckets/containers of scrap (after the initial break down from all the plastic and wood, etc). I am up to $434.75 so far and still have stuff I left in my dads garage and stuff sitting in my garage I brought home to work on.

    I've pulled two all nighters so far this week with 3 turn ins and have to take a break tomorrow - my knuckles are swollen, stiff and sore and I went through a box of bandaids in 3 days already. My back is screaming but my wallet is happy.

    I left lawn mower motors at dads along with guts from 5 big screen tv's, sweepers and tv's I haven't even gotten to yet. Tv's, microwaves, monitors and motors in my garage waiting to be broke down.



    It hasn't been this good in a loooooooong time by me especially with all the competition so I feel very lucky.

    I wish I had a way to weigh the garbage, I bet it weighs 800 pounds easy , thats how much I picked up!!!!

    Oh, and I also sold 2 of the lucky push mowers I found and cleaned up and sharpened the blades for $50.00 so that gets added in too!!!!

    All I can say is DAYUM!!!!

    I did feel bad though, on the first run we were doing so good I wouldn't stop for coffee for my mom like we usually do. I have to make that up to her.
