    Finally got something to do.

    Brought home a couple truck loads yesterday. Although I got a Ford Ranger with a small bed it's still some nice stuff. 10 push mowers, 3 weed eaters, a ginormous muffler (i think from a semi), a microwave, and a big crate full of mixed up who-knows-what. A buddy of mine, who used to have his own small engine repair business, finally decided to clean out his garage. He was thinking about just taking it all in as-is. Instead I'm gonna take it all apart to get the most out of it and split it with him. Maybe not entirely cost effective but it's either that or nothing. And then today I had another friend that just had his freezer die on him that said I could just have it. I think it's a stand up one. I can't remember. Plus I still haven't got around to taking apart this rear projection TV that I've had for awhile. Things are starting to look up. The words starting to spread that I'm looking for junk. Hopefully it keeps up like this. Eat. Sleep. Scrap. Lovin it.
