Hubby has today off instead of Monday for Labor day.

This morning we went and cashed in a little

scrap metal and made about $83 from it.

When hubby has off work while children are

in school we go to our usual place for breakfast,

Tee-Jayes!  YUMMY

It doesn't happen but only a couple of times

of year to be able to splurge on something like that.

After breakfast we walked around Oxbow at 

Hoover Reservoir.  It was so sticky and humid out

and I thought by walking in the woods and by water

it would feel better...not!

You could actually see a haze in the air.

Couldn't wait to get back in the truck

where the air conditioner was.

From Hoover we stopped at a couple of

yard sales.  Hubby snapped this shot of me

browsing a garage sale, lol.

Nothing to see here.  It was a dude's sale

with sports cards and guy things.

Only bought from one sale though.

I got hubby a leaf blower/vac with all attachments

and bag for $6.00 

and

a lithium battery operated weed trimmer

with charger and 2 batteries for $8.00

and lastly an emergency 40 channel

CB radio with antenna and case for $2.00.

We now have 2 emergency CB's for our vehicles

and a regular CB with antenna for the house.

If ever the telephone lines go down,

cell service or internet goes out,

we still have a way to communicate with one another.

Had that happen once for a week or more

and hubby was on call at work.

That was not fun.

And while cruising through neighborhoods

looking for sales I spotted this sink

with faucets and a little copper piping

on someone's curb.  Well I just had to stop and pick it up.

This will probably fetch us about $8 or so at the scrap place

for the brass, copper and stainless steel.

4:00pm

For supper I decided on Little Ceasers pizza.

So much for a hot and ready pizza when you

had to wait 5-10 mins. on them to be made.

In return for our wait they gave us

free bread sticks and dipping sauce so it was all good.
