    Red face Today's life.

    The Florida morning was cold. About 55 degrees. Moved on out to the garage workbench and had a thought. Cell phone boards. Started taking a few apart on the work bench. The screwdrivers were not small enough and the torques bits were too big too. Mr hammer came in handy on the vice. Took apart a few and found the nokias to have nice boards. Saw on ebay someone had about 20 boards and made about 40 dollars. This kept me going while listening to the morning talk shows on FM. Waited for a call about some e- waste sold yesterday. Had to make the call to find the money. Checks in the mail.
    Loaded up the pick-up with some insulated #2, extruded and copper wire #2. Made it about 4 miles to the yard and Bling cash in pocket. Driving home figuring my next move. Alone in the sunny distance next to some empty trash day trash cans, I spot a huge bbq Grill, stainless it appears and huge. Did I say it was big? Opened the tailgate and flipped it in using leverage. Bam new plan. Then the man drives buy in his trash truck waving. He tells me of another one a couple of blocks away. His directions were suspect and we bobbed and weaved through a couple of red lights and I found it. It was a big oven stove combo! New plan. I'm a 1/4 mile from home. I procede to take out the brass jets on the grill and cut the wires on the stove. Off to the scrapper I am. Sold! Day over for scrapping. Time to work on boat. Life in the day
