this was a poor year for can collecting. i think the total haul year to date is about $350. i was concentrating more on exercise than profit this summer so i passed on most of the beer bottles in the park. also my favorite park came up dry this year. the young drinkers must have found a better place to get shit faced most nights. not once did i did i find a huge mess in that park with dozens of beer cans waiting for some enterprising old man to cash in. poor little ruby missed on too. usually the utes leave lots of food. ruby loves a slice of pizza or a sub sandwich in the morning.
a few days ago i found 10 full cans of beer. it made my dad real happy. the big finds this year were the weights and 2 tennis rackets, prince titaniums. i'm wearing a nice pair of adidas sneakers found at the skate board park. i'll be heading to my favorite store later this week to turn some of the loot into medicine.
the angels head back to university tomorrow so i'll be able to catch up on my naps as long as the prick next door doesn't decide to cut his lawn around noon.
i love you sons of bitches.

Hey... sounds like a great amount to me. The other gems are pretty keen too.
Glad your angels have been there to give you smiles. That's worth more than anything.
Can prices here have frigging tanked, took in 75 pounds recently and only got $18.75 cents.
The big find for me this year was the 5th wheel camper for just 250 bucks, I'll take it with next week when I go meet Ananda Girl.
i love you sons of bitches.
So you're not the head son of a bitch there? You know, being as the prick next door mows his lawn when you are napping.
I have that problem myself, these motherfuckers won't let me be the head son of a bitch here.
I'll tolerate some glass mowing during the day but you can bet your ass that the neighbors next door are quite at night since the night I got up and went over and chewed ass, I just don't put up with that loud party crap at bed time.
He thought he would sic his dog on me, that dog was a pussy, the only piece of me it wanted was a dog goody. That will teach the stupid son of a bitch not to go to work so I can go over there and make friends with his dog.
sounds like good pickings to me..and i love that song..
i have been leaving one of my browsrs on theradio.com and listening to oldies 50s and 60's then i listened to heavenly rock and after about 5 songs i realized all the people singing were dead..i laughed my ass off...
Holy cow that is a lot of cash for the cans..wow! wonder what drunk forgot his 10 full cans of beer.
Hope you are enjoying a nap right now as I type this comment, and if not you are punching the prick in his neck so you can get back to your nap.
How does someone leave behind a bunch of unopned cans of beer.
But still, a pretty interesting set of finds.
ananda - $350 is my lowest total in several years.
bbc - how many cans in 75 pounds?
yellowdog - i hear ya, all the people we liked are dropping like flies.
sage - the utes tend to drink as much as they can as fast as they can. i guess that leads to memory loss.
mr shife - i was at the cracker factory taking a nap as you were typing. no one bugs me there.
secret - i guess they got more beer than brains.
Having had a recycling business for a while I know that a pound of cans is about 24 cans. So that would be about 1800 cans if my math brain is working right tonight.
I don't recall how many smashed cans my special trailer held when I was doing that business, but it was a hell of a lot of them.
I didn't have a can baler and bale sizes vary depending on the machine these days but about the smallest bale of cans is about forty pounds, or about about 960 cans, if my math brain is working right tonight.
And if it isn't, who gives a shit?
wonder what drunk forgot his 10 full cans of beer.
Under age drinkers often ditch beer when the party police are around, did that myself when I was young. Hell, did it a few times as a young adult and didn't want to have it with me when doing something stupid.
My friend Rick was smarter as a young man than I was I guess. He and his friends would open the bottom of the beer case to take beers out of it and then turn the case back over and it looked like it hadn't been opened yet if they got stopped.
What can I say, I was sort of stupid when young.
