don't you just love it. I get all giddy and high when I get good free stuff. The adrenalin rush is better then a good 2 for 1 sale. Last week Hairball and I were driving down our street when I seen two large bags full of beer and soda tins. They were sitting at the curb as it was garbage day. I don't know about where you live but here beer tins pay 10- cents each and soda tins 5 cents a piece. I tell Hairball turn around I want to grab those empty's. He pulls a u-turn at the nest street and we drive back. Just as he pulls up to the curb a lawn waste pick-up truck is pulling in from the other direction. I race out and scoop the two bags up in front of the guy. He say's I wanted those and I gave a gleeful chuckle and said but I have them. hahahaha I think I was chuckling for the rest of the afternoon and it still brings a smirk to my face as I write this now. Incidentaly I gave the empty's to Nevada and Kaikoa and the totalled $25.60.
Then this Saturday while Hairball is out garbage saleing he sees this pile of allenblocks at the end of a driveway. He askes the lady what she is doing with them and she just wants to get rid of them. Well you can probably guess the story from here. He drives home hooks up the utility trailer and ends up bringing home two trailers full. We have been building retaining walls all week behind our property terracing it down to the river.
Well how was your free week... This isn't our wall just so you get the idea
