Three bucks at Buc-ee's and the kid becomes a comedian?

My grandpa hauled scrap for 30 years and swore the dump was a gold mine hiding in plain sight. He pulled motors out of old washing machines, cut cords off lamps, even saved the brass fittings off dead water heaters. Half his garage looked like a salvage yard but he probably made a few hundred bucks a month off stuff people just threw away. Next time you're out there ask the guy about scrap metal prices, it might change how you look at your junk pile.

That squeaky handle is the worst but yeah, I mocked a flexible rod for years too.
