Been doing short runs most days lately. 3 to 3.5 mile runs. Today I ran a 3.3 mile loop from my apartment but it was different. Yesterday as I ran the same loop i saw many aluminum cans on the shoulder. Today I went with several grocery bags and picked up all the cans. This is along the busy Reid School Road. bout 1 mile in I had to leave a full bag to come back for with the truck. Also I found four full cans of beer. A few were in the split open box. Busch lite or something. what are people doing out there? anyhow I got the next mile in and had another full bag. I had doubled back and left the bags together. on to the last mile with one bag.
On the way I found a pair of slip joint pliers. Also found a very small weighing scales, electronic, with no batteries and no battery cover. It measures 0.1grams up to 600 grams. Yes, I suspect it is drug trafficking related.
Got home with a 3rd full bag and had smelled enough beer and got enough of it splattered on me for one day.
I went back and picked up the other bags with the truck.
It took 8 minutes to do the 3.3 miles. good workout and got about 3 pounds of aluminum.
The scales work. I took a new penny and weighed it. I knew it should be 2.5 grams. then I took a pre 1983 penny and it weighed 3.0 grams. It is 95% copper whereas the post 1983 pennies are like 95% zinc with copper cladding. The scientist in me loves little details and tools like this. I can weigh some bike components now. ha.
anyone want some beer?
