Today's lesson: Be Nice To Your Scrap Man
Yesterday the scrap guy came by and told me he had something I needed. He was pulling a small boat trailer and he knew I didn't have a dedicated trailer for the Waverunner I'm trying to sell. He told me to make him an offer. I thought about it and said $75, he (too quickly) said SOLD! (Crap, I should've said $50.) Anyway, it's worth it, it will help me sell the Waverunner, then I can get my Wavejammer in the water.
I always give him scrap steel, aluminum, brass, copper, whatever, I know I can trust him and he looks out for me and offers me bikes when he finds them.
My wife called today and said he was going to stop by the church to show me something, I thought "Uh-Oh, he saw me spend money last night, now he's going to keep trying to sell to me..." He got here and was very proud to have found the bike below, I looked at it and saw it really hadn't been ridden, just sat outside a while, perfect tires, brakes and shifters work, nice. As I looked I just said "Can I have it?" and he said, "You mean you haven't taken it out of the truck yet?" So I grabbed it and it's mine. I'm just stoked about the tires, everything else is bonus. If my wife liked pink this would be for her, it might be anyway if I do a little something to the color first. Pretty good for a rainy day where I can't do anything.
