About an hour ago, (10:00 pm chicago time) I got home from a visit to my parents house. I went over there for a visit and dinner with my wife and 2 month old. As we got back home, I saw what I thought to be a computer monitor in the dumpster corral at the entrance drive of my condo. However, the baby was crying and the wife wanted to hurry upstairs to tend to her. So I drove to my spot and parked and got them upstairs and said I'll take a walk for the monitor. Well, a good walk and a few minutes later, the quick glance computer monitor was really a 20ish inch tv. I said to myself. I've already walked this far, can't walk back empty handed. So I hiked it up onto my shoulder and started walking. Definitely took a few breaks on my way back but ultimately ended up back at the truck. Put the tv on the back seat. Took a few breaths and rested the legs. Went upstairs and thought to myself, got something to take apart tomorrow and am 5ish dollars richer. Not a lot of return for the effort put forth. But it's better than nothing... The things we do for scrap.......
