    How did I get started?

    A late nite internet search for an after hours flexible part-time job besides Uber or Lyft. I have a career in IT and I cannot commit to a set schedule on weekends or after hours because of being on call periodically.

    This was my thought process during the search after discovering there was a such thing as metal recycling besides aluminum cans... "What? I can just pick up free metal and drop it off and get $$ for it? No... where do I take it? Right down the street? There's 4 of them around me? People are always leaving free stuff on CL and on the sidewalk... I have a good running truck just holding the street down in front of my house, a newer dolly, straps and a bunch of tools including power tools.... an angle grinder, reciprocating saw, Dremel tool all from being a gearhead... it's as if I am supposed to do this after hours "



    So I bought a new pair of leather gloves, gassed up the truck and started finding things... then I joined this forum shortly afterward.
