Good morning my FTE Buds!
One more day til the weekend.
So lets get this one going and have a GREAT day!

 

Thursday begins my weekend. This is the day I get my truck ready and loaded to head to the flea markets to sell on Fri Sat and Sun. That's the hardest part is loading up then setting up on Thurs night then bring what's left back and put it back in storage Sunday night. But...I average $500-$600 a weekend. All profit except fuel and food which really helps keep the bills caught up.

 

Kevin, where do you setup at?

 

YEEEHAAAA we finally got rain on the worst fire in New Mexico history....we have moisture and we have a great morning!

It hasn't rained in six months

 

Prosperity dip at the old RV Center in Beckley on Fri and Sat. If I don't stay there for Sunday, I move to the parking area on Harper Hill (route 3 to Eccles). I've wanted to go to other places but most are a long drive and only one day. If I stay local, I can leave my tables at night because it's fenced in. That way, i can keep an eye on things and bring in more things if i need to. A lot of the things I sell are leftover yard sales from Fridays or the weekend before. I check the local paper and can usually get a whole truck load, sometimes two loads for $25-$50. Quite often I can get free things like appliances and furniture that just needs a little repairing.

My wife thinks I should do it full time instead of going back to work especially since she really doesn't like my job at all. But...I like a steady paycheck. With selling and odd-jobs, it's feast or famine when you start out. It gets better over time of course when you build up a reputation and contacts but I can't take that risk right now.

But until my job lets me come back to work, I have to do whatever it takes. Teenage daughters are expensive lol.

 

Did it get the fires out Tim?

Thanks for the infor Kevin.

 

Oh and theres this.

 

That was good. I looked through a few of your photos. You have had a nightmare. LOL

 

Yeah pretty much. Hope to get the brakes/rear gears/steering done saturday and take it for a spin. No doors or windshield should make that fun.

 

Hey all.....had a GREAT vacation......spent some much needed time with family and friends, and got paid to do so!!!! Back to the grind on Monday.....time to unpack all the camping gear and get the house put back together....


Have a great weekend......{{{{hugs}}}}

 

Good Morning All!

Happy TGIF and birthday to the USPS!

It's gonna be another hot one today, still cool and hydrated!

 

WOOHOO! ITS FRIDAY!
Good morning all good people!
Have a great day and weekend!

 

Nice job Cheeto! Always good to hear them come back to life!

 

Yeah it is Friday. My weekend starts to day. Going to go camping with some friends down on the river. I have not done that in over five years. It should be a riot.

 

Everybody east of us is in an oven, drink and stay safe...if that is possible in this mess.

...and we are normally hot !
