    Hit a home run today.

    Went to get an state inspection on my truck today at a small country garage that I have dealt with for years. In our conversation I ask if they had any old wheel weights. The guy said " a few " . We went back in the next room and wheel weights were all over the floor. Guess they never boxed them over the years. They were all along the wall behind the changer and balance machine. Covered in crud like they had been there 40 years.
    To make a long story short I got a scrap piece of aluminum that was laying there and began work. 2 1/2, 5 gal buckets . He said I could have them for cleaning up the mess. lol I gave him 10 bucks for a pizza !!
    Christmas came early this year.

    Score! Man, what a score!! ( I'm jealous) lol! Good find.
    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    Good Score! It pays to keep your eyes open and to ask.

    Good score!

    Too much work for some, but I would have done it.

    Great score, good for you! I drive right by a few small garages and sometimes think about stopping and asking, but don't for some reason. Gonna have to start though.

    Small garages are a good way to go. Much easier to deal with than many

    PIZZA!!... I never have tried that one! Good idea.... I have used, in order of magnitude;

    1. Beer
    2. Home made deer sausage, uncooked links
    3. deer sausage & egg bisquits
    4. Volkswagen parts (air cooled)
    5. yard work
    6. buckets of old paint

    Next time POPPA John's has the 3 toppings, Giant size for $10, will grab a few and see what I can find. Am out of deer sausage and beer is getting expensive.

    Nose Dive

    Cheap, Fast, Good. Kindly pick two.
