There is no typical day they all present their own challenges trying to juggle schedules and customers schedules to make it all work.

That part in bold above sums up my day. Add in my fits of not being able to sleep, an I have crazy hours. Pick ups I do certain days, break downs occur all the time, day or night. I may get 3 to 5 hours a sleep in when lucky, if I'm not sleeping I'm breaking things down, moving items through my various ways, or learning more. The only consistent thing is..I stay busy an the cooler is always traveling with me.

Sirscrapalot - I can catch up on sleep when I'm dead. - Not me, but i'll take credit.

I wake up at 4am, usually about 1 minute before my alarm goes off and fix a pot of coffee and, and what is a typical day.

Welp, right now its wake up at 7. Go to school at 740, get out of school about 1221 for career explor, go up to the tech school I went to last year to be a Student Teacher Aide, Leave school, check coon and fox traps, go out hunting, come home look at the scrap pile and wonder when I'm gunna have time to load all the S--t up lol. Go inside, formatting and installing Windows 7 on laptops to ship out for ebay orders. Then play a lil Battlefield 4 or Runescape and head on off to bed. Oh n forgot to mention get the truck a little muddy out on the trapline. But yeah aint dealing much scrap right now, mostly doing refurbing of laptops and let me tell ya, I posted about 25 to 30 laptops for 200 ea and my whole inventory sold in a weekend. I got overwhelmed but one things for sure, Christmas time is the best time to sell computers lol. I didn't really even put that big of a dent into my stash.
