Two months ago I had a total right replacement and have only been getting 1/3 of my normal pay if it wasn't for my stash of scrap and better than scrap items on my porch for ebay I would be sitting in the dark and posting with 2 cans and a string.

Indeed! Bad back and joints for me and I get winded quicker then in the past... I can only lift so much, and fit it in the Exploder but luckily I have a small shed out back, so I break things down
and store what I can in that. The fuel costs really bite too so I'm limited in that regard as well. I live in a small town, so much stuff 20-30 miles away is just out of reach, if only I lived closer...I'm constantly scanning the CL freebies and going out days/nights before trash day. Hopefully my flyer idea for the nearby consignment and thrift stores will help generate some pick ups. Just got to find a place that will take the hard plastics and CRT(?) tubes before I generate any complaints from anyone nearby.
I can't put all the TV carcasses in the shed, as they'll take up all the room for the other stuff.
