This is great reading, and of course makes me wonder how much $$ I have left by the end of the driveway for someone else to make a few bucks off of.

the sink that was stainless proved to me too much for me. I bought a new blade for my sawzall .. only to have it last about 2 minutes. I did not know that ss is so tough. so it went 'as is'. drats.

200 lb at 65/t

that was 'clean sheet' . I got a 5.00 bonus for some reason.

tues was 2 file cabinets... 80 lb at 65/t

hated to do the scale , as it is my feeling that under 100 lb . and the 20 lb increment vs the 1.00 of the small scale. you can lose too much .

Yep that 20 pound sucks, most time I feel its not going in my favor! My last trip it may have though. I had 2 lawn mower frames one was battery operated and had lots of plastic on it. A small microwave gutted and stuffed with small shred items, 2 large sections of fake Christmas trees, a few other small things and a large lcd tv monitor. They said 200 pounds

3rd lawn mower in 2 days LOL. One gas powered could not get it to run so scrap it was, removed the engine for dirty alum or alum transmission price (depends on the yard). Second one was a battery operated one (removed lead acid battery and electric motor) and the one yesterday was electric with its cord cut (removed electric motor as well). Tis the season!

I dropped the ball with this monthly tracking thing, sorry, too busy at the Portland Mint to be a scrapper! I guess I am a full-time copper miner so that counts in a way, haha.
