WHile walking my mail route today a customer of mine that knows I do scrapping says she has some copper pipes I can have from a remodle she just got done with. Without looking I tell her ill swing by after work. Turned out to be about 20 pounds of pipes. Can you say SCORE!!!!!!! (In your best soccer announcer voice)

Sweet. And may I suggest you hold on to it for a while. If you're not hurting for the money that is. Copper's still down ya know.

Good deal. I can see where a guy like you would be able to go through a box of cards in one day.

That was way cool, the people on your route must really like you.

Just be careful, PartTimeScrapper. I carried mail for eight years in Omaha, Ne and a year in St Joe, Mo in the 80s. I was the kind who'd cut mail to the whole loop if a dog was loose. But I never got bit, either (on the route). Had a Doberman come through a screen door one time. Emptied three cans of dog spray on him.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Like police dogs, he/she must have been trained to not let it really effect them, as most criminals are not going to be carrying 3 cans lol. Not calling you a criminal of course.Originally Posted by Mick

If I dont personaly know the dog I dont even try Mick. Its not worth being bit over. If a dog does come at me though i dont even bother with the spray. I shove my size 14 foot right in the chops. Ive had to do this twice. I personaly think the shoe works way better then spray. Specialy when there is 220 pounds of me behind that kick. I once punted an ankle bighter a good 15 feet with the owner mowig there front yard right in front of me. The funny part was the owner was like nice kick the dog deserved it for charging you. This was on another persons route I was carrying a split on but still was funny I thaught.
