    Spending My Scrapping Profits

    Went to the local farm store recently. Got a couple bags of supplies for the shop and home improvements. Thought about my bride when I was there too. She got a new pair of shoes and really likes the addition to her wardrobe.


    As a driver I'm always sober, but my truck is always ready to get loaded

    He he.. I know the feeling. Some of the profit I made off a car today bought my kids:
    Each got new Winter Coats
    Daughter got Snow Pants
    My son got a new winter hat
    My daughter got a new pair of PJ's and a new dress.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Bejak....I got a pair of those recently too, but I wear mine inside the boots and outside the socks, 'cause my old boots are starting to look like Sledge's.

    It seems like I never turn a profit - I keep flipping it into more cars that I don't want to part ways with.. but one day I'll decide I have too many and either sell them or crush them all and take a vacation.. 7 is starting to look suspicious..

    Bejak - Do they come in extra wide sizes? So many companies do not consider those of us that are "foot challenged."

    Size of your shoes determined by size of your purchase. You could always ask the checkout person if you could try some on before you leave the store. Then again maybe not, asking to try on bags to see if they fit ok might get you some funny looks and maybe even escorted to a safe place where we can't hurt ourselves.

    Trailer jack went out after hauling in a load of aluminum. Easy come, easy go.
