    The alarm goes off at 8 a.m. I turn the shower on to get warm then go to the coffee pot and start that then shower up. Get out of the shower and have coffee with the computer on the back porch (Florida) playing a few games on facebook waking up the brain, and checking Craig's list free section and computer section and making sure my ads are up to date. Leave at 9 to get to the regular 6 hour job 5 days a week and get done there at 4.

    During that time, I spend various moments fielding calls about e-waste between driving the bus. With any luck I will have a pick up on my way home or some nice stuff from the job (today I took home a couple of pounds of wire and about 10 pounds of stainless, all of the maintenance guys throw stuff in a pile by the shipping dock that I grab at the end of the day, sometimes there is a large hotel style air conditioner for me).



    About once per week, I will stop at Southern Bike Night bar for a couple of rum drinks, but typically I will get home where I try my best to keep on top of whatever I picked up that day. If there is nothing to break down, I have pewter to smelt, hard drives, RAM or power supplies to test for resale, and of course another check of Craig's list. Then comes the return calls and e-mails that came throughout the day, a little break with facebook again, and either an evening of getting auctions ready for e-bay or a little bit of Everquest 2.

    Weekends are all about scrapping and reselling. Saturday is an all day event doing whatever I am trying to catch up on and then the same goes for Sunday until football starts at 1. Then I still keep doing computer work while I watch football and knock off around 5 and relax.

    All fun. If it wasn't, I would not be doing it.
