    You seem to be either a fast learner or have a stroke of beginners luck.
    Either way sounds like you are doing great!

    Grats! Don't think it goes like that all the time. Don't let the bad days slow you down, because those good days are always ahead of you.

    That would still be a good payday for the $5 outlay.

    Dunemaul I've got a great scrap yard only a half mile from my house. The guy who owns it is a sweetie I call him daddy and tell him I'm home for my allowence. He has taken my daughter and I under his wing he sometimes gives us more so I can get my girl Ice cream. His wife is just as sweet. I got lucky.
