    Having a good ole' time

    Hey fellow scrappers,
    Got an in with a Sears manager and 4, yes 4 electricians this month...got a TV, stove, ice maker and AC from Sears and washer/dryer and lots of odds and ends from electricians. One electrician I already knew and he's been helping me out for a while, but now his son said he will save me stuff and he also has a renter who is a retired electrician and now does stock cars for a hobby and he gave me something (told me but I forgot the name of it) with lots of aluminum and copper in it. Just took that big ole' motor out of the washer, ran the sawsall thru the aluminum and copper...didn't even stop when my ice water container vibrated off the workbench...and broke that bad boy down in.....seemed like 5, could have been 3 minutes. Didn't pull out the copper yet , just picked up my glass and came inside to replenish ice water and say "salud" to myself in the mirror !! It's 90 in the shade already... And to look up the posts about what to do with that washer "tranny" !! "Salud" to my fellow scrappers !!

    And it just picks up from here. Congratulations, Dee.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
