To day was a stress day , The fuel pump went and the only way to get the part was to bike to it , I was ready but not looking forward to it
12 miles down a busy road and then back up . This was life threating but I was ready. First I rode over to a gas station to see if I could hitch a ride Via a pick up truck .
I found a person who would do me the favor he was originally from Tennessee and a nice guy.
As we drove we talked ,he is on SSD and a small pension he was 58 money is tight & he is very board cause he has no job
I figured what the heck I told him your pick up could hold 1000 with no real harm to it
& scrapping might be the answer to your money situation a hundred a week profit is doable I told him the things to sell
I said as you drive places pick up items . Since he was a tec for a local cable company I have a feeling he'll make a few bucks .
He was so interested he took me back up the hill . I gave him some wire as a sample - a vac motor - a fan - some light metal - short steel -and a VCR so he can get the feeling of what to look for. I clued him into the many things you can sell as metal like baby strollers. Car seats ECT.
He looked so happy and said thank you . I told him thanks as you never know I might have been killed on that bike ride . I feel he will not steal from me , some times when some one helps you ,ya just gotta take a chance to help back.
Well I guess a little more competition on the road .
New fuel pump $237 - installed easy. could of went used but figured i don't want to remove the fuel tank in 5 months as any used pump was 10 years old.
