I got $0.36, yet another hard drive along with IDE cable, and a ribbon magnet.

$1.06 and a USMC cap, put two more magnets on the GP.

A school bus caught on fire, the interior made a nice plume of smoke. Took home another Hard Drive, 4gig, and finally an old computer with a turbo switch. I found a van with some other old computers, 3 monitors, old printer, scanner in it. I didn't mess with any of that crap.
$0.80 accumulated.

The metal market has been going down consistently for the past month, another hit today. One washes out of the task-force, I salute and take his place: loading export containers.

Found a Western Digital hard drive, $0.75.

I was called in today to do a supply run to one of the construction sites.
In the little time I was in the yard, I picked up $1.15.

$2.97 in change and a toll token, this one's only for the Henry Hudson and Cross Bay.

Put two more magnets on the work truck as well as a battle scar. I took some sealed medical supplies from an ambulance, I left a bottle of steril water at work for flushing out eye-balls.

I'm also collecting those gas-stop/seven11 ribbon magnets off of cars. Many I put in/on the machines, only recently started putting them on the work truck, +1 today three so far.

+ $2.95 change - $42.00 vehicle fuel, waited to leave work 'till six o'clock for gasoline happy hours at Gulf.

$2.99 in change collected.

Took home a neat looking knife and only $0.80.
I used the wrong attachment while trimming my goatee, so I shaved it all off. Had it since Dec 20 or so, It cut a lot of shaving time. It's better now that it's spring anyway.
