    I went out this morning to deliver some nice items I found while curb shopping to some very cool buyers that loved what I had found, On my way back I could not resist peeking in a few dumpsters. 30 minutes later my truck is half full again with plumbing, wires and lights.
    Thanks Mike, now I can't walk through my garage again.

      Hanging out in dumpsters? Nastiness should be expected. If we only knew what our environment really throws at us we would never leave our house! Mike should go see a professional hypnotherapist and get that aversion to urine controlled.😮

With my grandad❤ hes got dementia bad now and can barely walk but i like to tell him about mikes new finds or show him the big hauls or snibbits that are fast paced-big pay as its easier to grab attention for the full thing! ❤ he can only handle somethings for a longer time like westerns or certain old shows , otherwise hes off to the races with something else😂

    I think a fun idea would be you and wifey doing some retail diving 😁. I know it isn't your thing, but retail stores are ALWAYS throwing out shelving from their stores. Keep them videos coming! Much love from Myrtle Beach!

    My camera for my vehicle has a front and rear camera and a GPS antenna showing position.
    Came out of a police car.
    Remember those cameras and 5" monitor screens you find are part of the system I have. Enjoy. Mike please save the software on dad's. Thank you.
    They replaced the ballasts with the led replacement. No ballast needed.

    Right at the start, cubicle lights from under the upper cabinets. Probably not one thing wrong with them, retro fit with the new LED lamps and you're good to go! All of those ballast, someone did a upgrade to a newer energy efficient version probably. I have seen that done before. The energy savings pay for the costs of replacing the old ones in a relatively short time frame and then it's money in the bank for whoever pays the power bill.
