Emergency Scrapping!

So, our day started early with a text from my brother-in-law that my sister-in-law was going into labor. She and my wife are really close so we dashed out the door to start the three hour drive to "be there for her".
Unfortunately, I left my cash at home, and I hate using my credit card, SO what to do?
Looked in the back of the truck and saw three barely filled buckets in my bed. A little brass, some copper, and a blown aluminum two-stroke motor. 10 minutes of break-down and I had gas money, lunch, and even a Starbucks run taken care of.
Right now we're hanging out at the hospital waiting for my new nephew.
I love scrapping.

I always prefer scrapping vs using plastic as there are no fees. Congrats on the new nephew...

Congrats. I found that a little funny cause I had to tap into my scrap a few times just for gas money so I can go to work not cause I forgot my wallet, even if I did forget it there wasn't anything in it anyway. Good thinking and once again congrats.

Actually, it seems like big hospitals are always in construction mode. This one had a huge haul away outside full of treadmills and exercise equipment....but I know the company who owns it. They prosecute! ****, I coulda bought more than pizza for everyone on SMF with those!
