    Time for the Tacoma to earn a few bucks

    My day starts innocent with trash bags full of cans that cashed out at $47
    Then I found some items and figured - - - well I just made a $300 car payment
    Let's be careful use my experience and load,
    I put back seats down line area with card board
    loaded careful then plopped the tread mill over the Cans . A microwave went inside dish washer
    AC unit card board front seat - sold as is not in the mood to dismantle .
    Went to Haber Freight spent $4 on a tie down strap . This small load earned $26
    I found stuff at dumpsters and thats also how I got the card board .
    From the yard, I hit the Can man
    I started my day at 7:30 done by 12:30 = $75
    On the way back home picked up the heavy old AC unit that is a nice find .
    I keep a thick blanket to protect & This type I dismantle .
    Went out once more with Ranger and did more canning $51
    and found some scrap - all in all a good day.
    The rule of using this truck, all stuff is put on and removed from tailgate area only
    NO side fender loading or unloading . Will I use this truck for Cans 100% yes
    Use for scrap ? depends maybe Yes or No - safe type only
    Not done yet - I have more cans to sell tonight . Yes my trash job Nets me Can's !!!!

    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less

    I use windows 7 from phone to g-mail copy from g-mail paste to forum
    I can see them .
    I use Opera browser maybe that has something to do with it ?
    if others can't see it , I'll figure some thing

    I logged in with chrome and I can't see it
    i'd have to redo it using chrome as Must be compatible issues

    Upload the photos on Imgur or Photobucket and imbed the photos using the direct link in the forum itself, if that makes sense.

    I just recently bought my 2001 Tacoma new in 2001. I do very limited driving and have a mere 250,000 miles on it. I really should have bought a used truck as little use as I get from it.

    I thought that such a landscape can only be found on the vast expanses of Russia. Very close.
