WHile walking my mail route today a customer of mine that knows I do scrapping says she has some copper pipes I can have from a remodle she just got done with. Without looking I tell her ill swing by after work. Turned out to be about 20 pounds of pipes. Can you say SCORE!!!!!!! (In your best soccer announcer voice)
free is the best price to pay :)
That worked out nice!
Sweet. And may I suggest you hold on to it for a while. If you're not hurting for the money that is. Copper's still down ya know.
Oh im not hurting I do this for spending money not a living. Allthough that could change in the next few months. But we will leave that to the other threads...
" Okay folks here comes Part time the mailman scrapper coming up the drive, he kicks , SCORE!" Crowd is going wild, there on there feet, wait no not the wave!!!
Good deal. I can see where a guy like you would be able to go through a box of cards in one day.
LOL i shuffle threw over 2000 pieces of mail everyday. Thanks for the giggle joe.
"Well there it is ladies and gentlemen Part time was able to slip past the bulldog with some fancy foot work and deliver that package right in the box!"
Well played!
Sweet!!! Nice score there PTS!
That was way cool, the people on your route must really like you.
Most do I think. We will see how much they like me at xmas time :) I love it when the kids come out with ziplock bags of cookies for me. Im the type of mailman that will put your dog back in your yard if it gets out instead of calling the catcher. As long as your dog isnt the type to want to eat me that is. Ive been on the same route for 3 years now so I know most of the people on my route pretty well.
Just be careful, PartTimeScrapper. I carried mail for eight years in Omaha, Ne and a year in St Joe, Mo in the 80s. I was the kind who'd cut mail to the whole loop if a dog was loose. But I never got bit, either (on the route). Had a Doberman come through a screen door one time. Emptied three cans of dog spray on him.
Like police dogs, he/she must have been trained to not let it really effect them, as most criminals are not going to be carrying 3 cans lol. Not calling you a criminal of course.Quote:

Ive had to do this twice. I personaly think the shoe works way better then spray. Specialy when there is 220 pounds of me behind that kick. I once punted an ankle bighter a good 15 feet with the owner mowig there front yard right in front of me. The funny part was the owner was like nice kick the dog deserved it for charging you. This was on another persons route I was carrying a split on but still was funny I thaught.
my mailman love my westies ,brings them snacks!! by the way nice score on the copper!!
