    Unusual sideways movement....

    Just a little update on my world and how I am getting to that next level...Been working for myself for the last 2 years and with the drop in scrap metal pricing I needed to make some positive choices making things work. The snow has finally cleared enough to my storage unit and make some much needed runs to the yard. Took the time over the winter to break down and ship out somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds of boards with another 1000 plus waiting to be sorted (the wife just gave up on going to the basement, so I do all laundry now LOL) Scored a trailer for free, which was great however having the truck to pull it would have been good too (cart before the horse syndrome) Ebay Store is plugging along and Clean outs are lining up nicely. Still though I get impatient and was offered a position back with a company I had previously worked for 3 days (overnights a week) full time hours and more than enough money to invest back into the business and help it grow. So though I have went back to the "regular workforce" I consider that my part time job... Scrap metals, E-Recycling, and Resales with always be my primary job! It never hurts to give yourself a little help when ya need it!
