    Wake up, have 4-5 cups of coffee while my joints and knuckles un-swell and get less stiff. after checking emails and the other ''Netz'' stuff I do its off to the garage for any breakdown from the nigh before. turn in load and go out looking or pickup. unload at the end of day and start or completely finish breakdown and then start over again the next day!

    Scrap before noon, scrap after noon,scrap till almost bedtime, dream about fridges on the side of the road that is in one city but was in a different city in my dream lol.

    Scrapper, Scrap Yard Worker, Horse farm worker, Cooler Puller and just plain ''tired''

    Up at 5:30 on weekdays, then off to teach 8th graders for the day. Done by 3:00 so I relax, eat, grade for a bit until heading out at 6:30 to run my circle of businesses. Some leave me a bit daily, and others about once a week. Then home to offload. Clean-ups and teardowns of Friday evening, then off to the yard with my dog early on Saturday. Sunday - more teardowns and sorting.

    On a good day; I wake up in the morning at various times and then fall asleep at night at various times. What happens in between, is usually somewhat unpredictable.

    one thing I have learned is that there is no "typical " day in this business. You never know whats going to happen today or tomorrow or next week.

    Ain't that the truth. Long as I'm waking up on the right side of the ground, my day has started out great!

    I'll keep my unpredictable days, over the predictable ones.
