Better than paying for someone to collect it I guess @thistlebloom.

Oh for sure. It was going to get gone regardless, but I guess I had ideas of paying for my gas to get it there. Silly me!

Well depending on what you are driving and how far you had to go, could be you lost a bit. Better that than some of the stuff I took - pulled ancient metal junk out of the woods just beyond the field. Good thing you didn't stop for that coffee on the way to the recyclers! And you didn't have to pay to rent the truck like I did.

Before we moved in here, we hired a couple of day laborers to help us clean up. They hauled not one, but THREE sofas out of the woods, lots of trash and there started to be a lot of metal. One of them said he collected metal, so BJ took him to get his truck. They used old bedspring units for sideboards and piled metal up over the cab. The bumper barely cleared the ground. We paid them $75 each for their work, gave them $20 for gas to haul it off and they were tickled pink. We watched them drive away, congratulating ourselves that WE didn't have to haul it off.

It didn't pay for my gas, but it was an errand day in town anyway, so I did make enough for a candy bar to treat myself, lol.

They made out decently well for their time and effort Bay!

I really had no idea how much the dumpster was going to cost. There is a company here called "Got Junk?". I wonder what they would have charged to haul off the dumpster stuff. Too late now so like the current value of my investments, I don't want to know! Lucky I'm old enough to have a defined benefit retirement, just squeaked into that one when the company changed over to a cash balance plan. That was then converted to a 401K plan.

Eggs today



The tiny blue one is from the breed of micro bantam Ameraucanas I developed.

OK, it is a robin egg that was "laid" in front of the barn. No trees within 50' so maybe she is just warming up for nesting season.

 

[thistlebloom]

I was getting ready to be really impressed with your micro bantam breeding project, hahaha! I hope you don't have a bridge for sale....

That is a beautiful batch of eggs .

 

[Baymule]

Perhaps you could collect more robin eggs, enough to make an omlette? LOL

 

[Bruce]

I'm afraid that is unlikely Bay, I don't know where else robins might leave random eggs!

I hope you don't have a bridge for sale....

I might, how much do you want to pay
