    Hauled a couple loads this week.

    I don't post much, but thought I would share. I got a call a couple of months ago in response to an add for batteries, the guy asked if I buy metal too. My response was that I can't buy now, because our small local yard recently closed, and I have to haul almost 200 miles to a yard. He called me back just before Thanksgiving, and told me that he had just sold his property near me, and asked if I would haul the metal off. When I met up with him to look everything over, he said he could only pay me $250 to get rid of it.
    I have since hauled in 2 loads totaling just over 8,000 lbs. There is probably at least 1 more good load there. There is also a bunch of old windows, and plate glass. I called my friend that is the local woodshop teacher about it. He said he could pay me at least $200 for the plate glass.
    I won't get rich, but I will do ok.
