    made my payday

    I recently put in about 15 hrs on a Spackle patch job , To day the customer was not in - great !!
    I was hoping for some money today. I am not worried he wont pay just the timing was bad today .
    So it's Friday 10:30 AM and I say to myself OK lets do it - kinda hot today 88 deg. - I start hitting dumpsters , & the street - and the load starts building .Stop at some construction spots and bam 500 pounds and 37 pound Aluminum .off to the yard nets me $68 cause mix is at $185 GT wile short is at $269 GT
    I figure the yard owner wants to gouge us local scrappers so not much you can do.
    Way home and bam another dumpster , loader up @ 560 pounds delivering $48 that $185 GT is annoying should a been $60
    Back to the spot to do my final digging and loading took around 2 hrs and filled the truck well .
    Also found 2 almost full boxes of phone wire WOW !! go figure =
    more AL also
    scrapping power
