    Good week for keepsies lol



    So this week I found a brand new bench grinder - my dad said it was either an ''Oops'' or an angry spouse lol. I also kept a 6 foot meco banquet table worth $141.00 new I looked up AND a purple Mongoose bike! For girls! the lady said she was hoping someone would take it because they didn't know how to fix the chain (seriously??!!) . I needed a bike!! the sprocket was bent and the chain kept slipping so fixed that and wala!! New bike for Cindy!! Also a box of brand new fishing lures - my middle son is happy about that one! And an almost (looks like new) office chair that my youngest son snagged - it was like brand new, no scratches, cuts, nothing! A lady also gave me a metal kitchen cabinet that one brother kept for his garage and a battery that my dad kept for his tractor. Lol, didn't leave much to scrap in the end it seemed! I don't know what brand the grinder is, might be from Harbor Freight or so but it will work fine sharpening all my work and garden tools!!!

    Nice. I just won a bid today. Probably 12-13 tons total. I'll start in a couple days. Soooooooo much of this stuff I wanna keep....probably can't afford to keep it all, though :/

    I would call the cops an ask if there was any robbery close by...If they are stolen tools...its you butt an you can find your self getting free food with a small bed with some man love.

    They may come out an take some photos of them IF there was NO robbery an just report it that you "found" them an it can be a life saver later on.

    Just a thought.
