    Heh.. So my wife just yelled at me for not getting a vehicle

    So after 9 hours working on the house today doing a closet tear-out and all the flooring from the closet to the kitchen (Leuon and tile)- the truck bed is LOADED with the remnants of the days work, I finally sit down after a hard day and see a junk suburban on CL.. Truck full, my tank is empty.. I'm sitting on the porch telling her about this suburban.. she goes "What- You didn't call- go call that guy" I called him and a dude is on his way to get it- he'll call me if he doesn't show.. but that was an hour and a half after I 1st saw the ad.

    Just thought it was funny that she was giving me guff about passing up on a vehicle.


    Usually I'm the one saying- hey I need to go to such and such to go get a vehicle and I get the eyeroll.. today it went the other way!

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Are you kidding you will never be able to read a womans mind, they change with the weather.

    I bet she had plans for the money from the sale of the truck for more work around the house.
    We buy electronic scrap, Gold Karat scrap, gold filled, refined gold, silver and many other item's.

    Sledge, you know who the real boss is in the house. They make us think that we are in charge and snatch back the power at will. Go get that money.
