    people never fail to amaize me.

    when talking to some people, it is just bgest to keep your scrap knowledge, to your self, like an atomic secreat, even the tineyest bit of casual conversation seems to generate rocket sientists over night.

    I have mentioned my M in law here before, you know the one who would rather put her metal , microwaves etc, out for the trash man rather then see me get them or even buy them.

    she has been saving cans for a couple of years and has a pickup load, we have about 2 pickup loads, plus some iron alum ect. so i said ok we will rent a trailer and take all the stuff at one time and split the expences.. yesterday my geanious brother in law shows up from montanna with a brand new 20 ft Waymark.

    so the decision is they are going to go, and sence it is a brand new trailer, he dosent want to haul my "dirty" stuff in it. I set the deal for them with my yard, because they know me well, and got a price set at .83, tomarrow I have DR appts and cant go so when do you thinkl they decide to go. you got it. now heres the thing it has been raining here for a week or better. "our" cans have become my wifes cans, because she and the kids drink the pop, never mind that I buy iit. the kicker is this the cans are all wet and dirty. which I can handle with the yard. but since I cant go, they will be on their own, iit will be interesting to see what price they come back with. Im guessin arround .45 maybe .50. I am not going to call the yard and tell them the load is from me. after all how complicated can the "junk" business be. I wager that 2 bits worth of info they got from me that created all that genious will cost them at least $100

    Just pull your cans out and tell them you'll take them, yourself.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
