People are slobs, but it pays. Someone dumped a full bag of crushed cans in a field next to the warehouse district that I ride through.
Humped the bag home and got 4 lbs 4 oz cans.

yesterday I went to the car wash to power wash my riding mower frame. I was preparing to install another engine in it so I wanted it cleaned of all the oil and dirt on it. When I heard the dreaded bloop of one of the engine spacers falling in the grease pit there at the car wash. CRAP. I forgot to remove those....so thinking I didn't want to make one or even wait to order a new one, I drove to the closest O'Reilly and bought a package of rare earth magnets. Drove back to the car wash and stuck them on a metal rod I had in the bed of my pickup. It took me about 15 minutes of fishing around through the metal grate covering the pit but I finally found the engine spacer along with dozens of nuts, bolts, screws, washers, bottle caps and other ferrous metals. I do not recommend doing that, it was awful smelly. The spacer cleaned up pretty good and now I have all four. The O'Reilly was about a mile away so I thought this story would qualify for this thread.

Thanks Cad!

Yes, first item is exercise as I'm not getting any younger (but in better shape than many in my 59 year old boat thank goodness).
Second item is to make it pay!
Third item is my neighboring roads are clean! I like a clean neighborhood.
