    Nice free load

    Always asking, always asking, always asking. I am always asking people about having broken or outdated computers. Yesterday someone said, I did, but they are all at such and such. They have been accepting them there, but now they do not know what to do with them. Here is my card, tell them that I sent you.

    I finally made it there today after work. I ended up with 10 towers, a pile of printers, boxes of cables, a monster cash register, and lots of other misc. I am still going through.

    There is a good pile of keyboards. I am hoping that at least one or more are the clicky type. Going through that box next.

    I found $10 in the old clunker of a cash register.

    I am going back tomorrow for 13 monitors.

    Back out to the driveway and keep breaking stuff down for me. Great start to the week.

    I will be breaking them down when I get to them. I think I need to get a storage unit. I am tired of running out of space.

    The model I have looks like I should get a 30 dollar bill off it. No complaints there.
