    Sunday Breakdown

    I pulled the truck up in front of the house today and worked on the tailgate. Had a good amount of scrap wire, couldn't find the will to try to get the goods out of the BX. Here are a few pics. Will post tomorrow how much after I hit the yard.

    Had do break out the new scale and do an experiment. Here are the results.

    1lbs. Insulated = >$0.75 .73lbs. = $1.89 Increase of $1.14 per lb.

    Good going Geiser! And you are correct, $100 is better than zero dollars! I noticed your prices are around the same as my yard paid out this week except for the batteries, mine dont buy batteries.
