Quote: last night I picked a well-scattered $1.17, the first $1+ night in nearly two weeks. it's been very skimpy out there the past several weeks. Been wondering where you have been. Nice finds.

Quote: Been wondering where you have been. been right here, doing my thing every night, just haven't been finding much, or anything at all recently, therefore nothing much to talk about. maybe this 'fabulous economy' is finally hitting some people. maybe tossing change away is becoming a thing of the past.

it is still piling up, just very slowly. yah, there is a space of 11 days between the only two $1+ nights of the month. I've been somewhat absent. I'm way behind on my coin stuff. I have pictures to take and I've had no time or frame of mind for it lately. my friend- stacy- broke a bone in her foot and I've been tapped for nightly dog walking, ongoing since sunday, continuing into the foreseeable future. she has two big galoots, Woodrow (red collar) & Jackson:  haven't found any money yet, but I may not have enough doggie karma yet. that chore absorbs 1-2 hours each night. one of my customers (and longtime close friend) fell wednesday and I have yet to get the full story & prognosis. another customer had recent surgery re: breast cancer & is undergoing some radiation. I was contacted by my brother in MI that mom fell (again) and cracked her pelvis. the hits just keep on comin'. here's a picture I forgot to post last night:  i wheeled into the parking lot of a burger place after midnight with just one stinkin' zincoln in my pocket when I spotted this neat cluster of shiny junk: three quarters and a nickel.

Quote: I hope they'll all have a quick recovery me too.. Quote: take care of them i do my best.  i guess the point of all of that was to just say my head is swamped. I'm not wishing for anymore input at the moment, especially some more nasty news. I'm in the middle of a landscaping project and a painting project at my washington street properties (two blocks away, where a pair of kitties are, very convenient... actually there are three kitties there now). I did painting prep today, made my $100. saturday i'll dive back into the landscaping project (next door to the painting project) and see if I can make another $100. that'd be swell. tonight I picked a well-scattered $1.59 in change, including a pair of quarters from one of my ice machines:  eww.. I guess I didn't pause long enough for that pic, those coins are not completely in-focus... I was probably rushing it.. anyway, that's only the third $1+ night this month. metals prices have been depressed for weeks and weeks and it's making me depressed, too, and crabby. not finding much street stuff while metals prices are depressed also adds to my surliness. i just want to sit here & babble, but the cat is waiting on me to post this and tend to him as per our nightly ritual...

Quote: good to see you on the gain again the gains have been paltry of late, but since I wondered aloud, Quote: maybe tossing change away is becoming a thing of the past the finds have picked up a little bit. that is a good segue into a rare Report From The Field... (also because I'm just sitting here at a bike rack near a burger joint killing time, a little ahead of schedule and waiting for a parking lot to clear out so that I can ride through it) I'm already well over a dollar so far tonight, thanks in part to this shiny junk I picked at a drive-up window area just before feeding Karma about an hour ago:  three quarters, a dime and a nickel among the leaves & butts.  i still have the back half of the route to ride through.

yep. I ended the night having found exactly $2 in change.  that makes the night: the fourth $1+ night of the month, the second consecutive night of $1+ and the first $2 night of the month. jolly good. the coin tubes fill faster.
