    May Dumpster picks

    It has been slow in my world,scored a couple fridges around town, mostly been checking the dumpster at work, found a small window unit, some lawn furniture, an air tank and a few pounds of assorted metal. Monday mornings usually turn up something in the old dumpster, folks running thru on the weekends chunking stuff in their. I'll keep plugging along and have a decent load by mid June,thats my plan to sell what i have and take the wife out for our anniversery.

    A/c units, pool pumps and lawn furniture should be hitting the curbs soon too.
