    Woot!!

    Earlier today I was getting ready to go driving with my son and he came in and said my neighbor brought me some wire. I figured ok, was probably just some cords from something. I was wrong! he brought me over a box fan box full of insulated wire - the outer coating is black and it has 3 insulated copper wires inside of that. not the thin stuff like a regular electric cord most household items have either - I can just make out 12/3 type S on the wire. Omg this is gonna take forever to strip with my hand held strippers!! He brought some other stuff too and said, ''got a cold beer?'' I'm like, Suuuuuurre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One cold beer for big box of bulk copper wire = WIN!!

    Plus we picked up a bunch of stuff while driving around and garbage doesnt go out until Tues and Weds because of the holiday so i got an early start this week already filled my truck up!!
