    Bad news and great news.

    Bad - One of my jobs cut back on my hours. Down one day a week. Things are slow.



    Great - I spent the day making contacts. I am finalizing things with a local IT shop to have them collect computers as a service to their customers, and pass them to me. I also got an agreement with the local cable television branch to collect their scrap co-ax and electronic devices. Plus a run to the yard with a bunch of misc copper for a net of $141, which is more than enough to cover lost wages. Things are looking great.

    Hang in there buddy, it will work out, I have been without work for 2 weeks, bin scrapping, and just got a call from a farmer literally ten minutes ago to custom haul grain!
