    The old man and the sea

    The Old Man and the Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Recently a dumpster I had been visiting was yielding well ,my permission Tobe there was
    as such , I tested the waters by going during the day and being seen by contractors
    The contractors would give me no resistance and that was good enough for me.



    Then on a Saturday a 20 foot long 4 foot wide steel and aluminum lamp architecture was there waiting for the pick
    after I got it out of dumpster I realized this is a big fish . I had it loaded in truck sticking 12 feet high . I had been playing with this piece for 1/2 hour already

    Then a women pulls up says I work security for the building across do you have permission ?
    I say yes .contractors allow me , she says then come back Monday , she also says I called the police so if you don't want problems leave now .
    I realize my permission is based on a benevolent acceptance of just ignoring the good old scrapper from the GC .
    Lacking paper work (on my part) and having this lamp architecture sticking 12 foot high , might not put me in favor during a police interview .

    So I had to let the fish go and since Fridays are my only day off I lost out .

    I need paper work .
