I had a hard time sleeping Saturday night, so I went outside around 4am and the fog lifted well enough to see that big honkin' moon. And it was so nice outside...I stripped down to nuthin' and just stood there in it's light. Naked. First time I ever did that!
I wanted to take a pic of it but I knew my itty bitty digital camera would be able to capture it.
Yes. Hubby has a setup in the back yard where he cleans his scrap metal. The xmas tree lights are piddly and too hard to clean the rubber off the wire, but we still get 70 cents a pound for it as long as the bulbs are snipped off with wire cutters. It gives us a smidge extra money for food, gas, etc.
btw...have you always been in the CS, Save? I haven't seen you in a long time! And, it is good to see you.

In and out of the CS, but never a regular Gracie. More of a political warrior in days past. Now I just want a mellow place to chat, so the CS is awesome.
Clipping bulbs off xmas lights sounds therapeutic. Sort of like popping bubble wrap. Nothing like a string of bulbs not working to get a person worked up. Got to keep my wire cutters handy next season.

About 2.20/2.30 CLEANED copper. Brass 1.70 per pound. He gets A LOT of brass. A local electrician brings us piles of copper wire when he is redoing houses. Hubby pays him half of what he gets at the scrap yard...so he goes there every two weeks with a truckload of cleaned scrap metal.
