    I could outfit almost an entire house tonight!

    I picked up everything but a kitchen sink! lol.

    Washer, fridge, 2 riding mowers and 3 decks, grill, outdoor lighting for along drives or walkways, sweeper, shelving, food processor, electric oven, fans, paper shredder, xbox, tvs, office chair, 2 grinders, an old scale and some window shades and wrapping paper. and a bunch of garden fencing and tomato tower thingies.



    Was a weird night, don't usually find such an assortment like that lol.

    Stupid weather said only 20% chance of rain but its been pouring for hours and I'm stuck in the garage, cant work on the mowers or washer sitting out in the rain tonight dangit!!

    Man am I beat! I got one riding mower, the washer and bunch other metal turned in 1st load - 1024 lbs of steel. plus I had my non ferrous also turned in first load which included 95 lbs of motors off all that garage stuff i had picked up in one spot. That rider had no engine on it but I think that at least 600 lbs of that HAD to be that mower because my back end was riding low!

    Second load was the fridge and other metal for another 600 lbs of steel.

    Ran back and loaded the last rider in the truck along with 3 engines off those two tractors + 1 more and some misc metal but didn't make it in time to turn in before the yard closed . Had to use hubby's truck to scrap tonight as my trucks full.

    Dad came home and asked how I loaded that fridge by myself - it had to weigh over 300 lbs it was dang heavy. Told him I used my Scooby Strength and mom can vouch for me she was standing right there watching!

    Neighbor 2 houses down stopped just now and asked me if tomorrow i would like to get his washer and dryer AND another riding mower and a trailer! Weird week for riding mowers!! lol

    Had my dinner, time for a beer and put my tired tootsies up!
