    Smile Guy surprised my mom and I driving around yesterday

    So mom and I were driving around and down one dead end street on the outskirts of town I stopped to pick up a treadmill. As I was loading it a guy come running down the drive and said I got some more stuff for ya. Huh? I told him he must know my truck? turns out, his brother lives a few houses down and told him I usually come around about 6:00, 6:30 every Sunday- I must have picked stuff up from him before (the brother). Now, this street, the houses sit kinda far back (out in the country) and it looks like nobody is ever home and I rarely see anyone out but they must notice me! He says he put his stuff out early for me and was watching for me to come around, told me to back in the drive. Alrighty! Backed up and he gave me a dehumidifier, an air tank, an old gas furnace and some old style cast iron yard tools!!! Score!! Now, how nice was that? He says they don't get much traffic on that street so my cruising it every Sunday got me noticed. He said if he has any more stuff he'd save it for me. I just thought that was the coolest darned thing and drove away kinda in shock, lol. That also tells me i hav e the monopoly on that area of town. I think it was his brother I picked up a shoe box of copper from last week that netted me $60.00!! Redid the pipes in his house and that sucker was heavy, it had about 10 lbs of brass I cut off the pipes and got paid for that on top of the $60 box of copper. People can be so nice sometimes when you least expect it!
