    Too many scrappers, not enough scrap

    Tonight was busy.
    Never saw so many scrappers in all my like. They were everywhere.
    Didn't get much of anything. 1 fan, a puter, bed frame and a copier all in my 4x8 trailer. What really pi**ed me off was the guy that passed me in an old chevy with a washer hanging out of his trunk. That would have looked a lot better in my trailer. Oh well.
    Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug.

    Like flies around these parts. We have one guy with a PA system. At first I thought ice cream man, went after wallet. I hear; ring ding ding a ling ding, "SCRAP METAL, WASHERS........." , Agh just an old ford full of junk. Competition is thick.
    When the white man discovered this country Indians were running it
    no taxes, no debt, women did all the work.
    White man thought he could improve on a system like this. - Old Cherokee saying

    I did not surrender, they took my horse and made him surrender. - Lone Watie

    That's rough. LOL dig in the trash less and advertise more. Besides, once the price of junk falls this winter, you'll be okay if you're dedicated.

    This is what I got last night.

    Seems by me Prices go up in winter . But the real correlation might be the price of fuel.
