NO Free Haul it off Hot tubs, My friends do that trick. However, I am 1/2 like Adrian's wife, and 1/2 like Adrian. I usually not only haul home stuff I may use one day, but also stuff that I could sell to someone.

I also grew up with massive ideas, dreams, and potential, but very little cash capital, land, plant or equipment to do anything about my dreams.
Thus, I began adult type activities like driving, in junk cars. Since my car was a mess, I needed tools to keep it going. I also longed for a nice garage to keep all my tools, cars, projects in, protected and organized from the weather etc. But I lived in an apartment with mom and stepdad and sis, and could only dream and keep working at trying to set myself up to get one some day.

The rest of the story is long, but let's just say, I still need a garage, I also still need huge piles of cash, but have also used my lack of just the right tool or facility to make use of ingenuity to solve all manner of needs.

One time I remember trying to hook up some wiring for a stereo, or an electric radiator fan install into my Mustang 5.0, I totally took a thing that NO one in their right mind could have come up with out of whatever random stuff I had accumulated by then. Just to paint the picture, I brain stormed in my mind what could make a good metal current conductive piece and what could I modify to make it happen? I wound up smashing up an electrical duplex socket, or a light switch ( forget which one) then I robbed the brass/.copper metal bits from the pieces that make electrical connections in the outlet. I took my tin snips and shaped it into a pointy blade that could poke into my car fuse panel, connected the wire to it, and voila. Had I just pitched that junk outlet in the dumpster, I may have never given a 2nd life to that little piece of metal. AND lol never had this story to tell.

I used to be able to say that about shooting guns, Ray. Ammo was affordable, and I was a law abiding non violent or dangerous gun owner.

But we both know the MOMS and govt has put their hands into taking this right to freedom away. OR as is now the tactic, made things so expensive or even scarce to acquire like ammo and components, that all enjoyment is gone for fear of not being able to replenish or afford to do so. Never mind panic buying what is not hoarded off the shelves in a nano second at ridiculous prices before you know it is in stock.

Copper will continue to climb.



Rv sales have gone way up due to covid, people are staying home and with borders closed etc they are buying travel trailers to hit the campgrounds, problem is now campgrounds were filling up fast, so many of them can't get in. People have been booking here as of February, The news reported anybody looking for a campsite is out of luck they are all booked up pretty much for the 2021 season.

Yuuuuup! Like the RV salesman said: "make hay while the sun shines"... uhm, brought to you by Covid-19... go figure...:facepalm:
 
Last year I drove about a 3 hour round trip up into Pennsylvania to get some good 6x6, and 4x4 treated posts to make into porch supporting members, I felt timid to spend the $100 or $150 on what I got, But now that I see boards that were under $12 or $15 going for $30+ per board, now, I know I made the right choice.

I have to be in full scramble, jump on every deal mode before the next guy gets em now. Too many projects to build, and not enough cash to do it at today's costs like I said.
