    I'm exhausted...

    So I took Wednesday off last week to pick up 8 Gylords of E-Waste. I had to make some room forst. So I dropped 600# off at the yard (Emptied the bed of my truck) then went back with the trailer and another 850# of #2 shred. It took us 3 trips to get 8 Gaylords and 1 copier.

    I went back that night and weighed out the first bit of Copper....350#'s Nice..

    I spent Thursday night with my lady, becasue I knew it was going to be a long weekend.

    Friday night was a late one, got a lot of stuff weighed, and inventoried.

    Saturday, got up early and took the old man to the yard. he wanted to clean out his garage. I learned a bit from the non-ferrous guys at my yard. Learned what LOW recovery is in their eyes. Going to look for another close buyer for some of my LR wire.

    Then took a trip to Ohio Drop off. I had a bunch of Low Grade to sell, some dead LCD's and all of my Power supplies, Cdroms Harddrives, and Floppies. Stopped by 1/2 price books with about 6 boxes of books too! I sold over 600#'s of material at OHIO Drop off...

    Sunday, ate too much, then went to work later to continue weighing and sorting.

    Today had a pick up, went out to a local school and picked up 47 P4 machines, 24 laptops, and an assortment of other fun stuff.



    The guys from Waste Not E-cycling sent a driver over to pickup up a Truckload from us as well. Some Decent PCs that they brokered a deal for us on, and several boxes of Mother boards, cards, assorted boards, cpus and Ram....This should almost put me in the black after all for the cash I've been spending on forklifts, and buying stuff to process......

    After a 10 hour day today, I'm taking tonight and tomorrow night off. I need to go back to my regular job so I can relax.
