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.

The biz never sleeps does it ? That's why I rarely do also

The Free load is always worth is. I have a very hard time justifying buying material to process, as the profit vs labor usually gets to be very close. If I was pulling in more stuff, and I had employees to keep busy, buying would fit my business model a little better I think.

I'm also very spoiled. I'm used to working on some projects that turn High dollar returns with little HARD work..just time. So I just need to remember that the HARD work is good for me....saves me buying a gym membership!

Thanks for the well wishes. Here's a couple of picks of some of the stuff I sold off yesterday!!





I need to get some $$ back into my bank account.....Get myself paid back for the forklift.

Made a huge difference! We were unloaded in 10 minutes as opposed to an hour with each trip! Definitely worth the investment!

Yep! The Hispanic guys helped me unload. I had a ton of stuff. Then the skinny blonde dude went to pick up this barrel, and I KNOW how heavy it is because I put it on the truck. He grabbed it to dump it into a gaylord, and his arm was shaking..but he didn't drop it. Almost...did. He had to put on a tough exterior...

Glad your staying busy and biz is taking off Thor...Throw some kids in the mix here in a few years then the fun starts.
