    Just got back

    Been out of town all last week on a field job prepping and selling industrial aluminum components. Second trip of this nature since December. First trip netted 6,000#. This trip netted 6,700#. Last week was a good week, even after paying for the material.

    It's industrial aluminum scrap set aside. I have a deal worked where I go get it, clean it up sell it, and pay for the material as well. It comes available a couple times a year. Usually working in a field by myself with the generator and sawz-all, cutting, cleaning and loading. I can usually get up one load a day and haul it about 10 miles to sell. So far a pretty good gig with no hassles and decent pay for a hard weeks' worth of work. I really like this business as I have always worked for myself, but had clients. Now I truly work for myself on my own time schedule, pace, etc. Probably the best move I could have made since my design practice went down the tubes a year or so ago. My chiropractor is reaping a financial reward, too!
