    A long wait worth the while

    After almost a year of looking for a connection that would supply me plenty of electronics, computers, and tv's I finally found one! I am so excited. It has come at a perfect time also. One of my girls are in school and the other will start next Aug. I can work this winter in the garage after they go to bed.

    My Dad made the pick up today. He said there was around 600 pound of electronics and more to come! This guy that is now our new connection was just throughing all of it away :eek: He was so happy that now he didn't have to hall it away and I was happy to just back the truck up and call it good!

    being a scrapper!
