    Keepin Busy

    Thought I was gonna run outta stuff to do yesterday. Was workin on the last thing I had and my brother shows up with an electric weedeater, circular saw, vacuum cleaner, and a bunch of Christmas lights all tangled around a metal reindeer. Them lights should be fun to strip. Ended up with a bunch of little sections. Went and picked up a full size freezer today. Got some computer stuff with that. Might have something out of that that'll be better than what's in my computer. I need an upgrade. After unloading that I got a phone call to come pick up a window AC unit. Ended up gettin a TV as well when I went to get that. And then was told to expect another TV and about 6 microwaves in a couple days. Monday cleanin out a burn pit with some iron all throughout before it gets buried and then goin to pick up 2 more TV's and some other stuff. Not sure what else with that yet. And also gettin a sweet deal on a bench grinder, vise, and mini sledge along with a dryer for just 20 bucks. And the dryer still works and is in better shape than the one I got. Mine's not even worth selling with all the problems it has so it'll get scrapped. Was gonna take tomorrow off to sit around and be lazy but I might just have to keep at it. Things are lookin up.

    Eat. Sleep. Scrap.

    sounds good Zak...sounds like the word is out and It'll just keep getting better and better. I guess you've checked with your yard about the Christmas lights. My yard takes them whole, but I've heard others say they have to cut the lights off. I think I'd leave 'em in the dumpster if I had to cut the lights off !! I got a box fan, a big fat, long set of jumper cables, and a bjillion alum. cans today! Oh, and someone threw away a very new looking Craftsman hedgetrimmer. I took it home and plugged it in and it worked! weird !!

    That's the way it seems to go. I don't how many times I've thought I'd run out of stuff, only to get a call and loaded up again. Last time - yesterday.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Today I will be picking up 2 fridges and my computer load will be coming from my sons friend. The fridges are coming from one of my moms friends brother she told about what I do and he said ''I've got some stuff!'' So its set up and she said he said I can have the fridges and whatever else is in his garage. this will be on top of my usual haul.

    Way to go Zak, sounds like your willingness to work hard is paying off.
