| Two boxes sorted tonight. Did not count the copper but looked and felt, by weight, like the usual 20% give or take a percentage point. Wheats were way down. Only 8 wheats out of two boxes. |
"Rich," the Old Man said dreamily, "is not baying after what you can't have. Rich is having the time to do what you want to do. Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

Congrats on both! That is quite the achievement on hitting 1 million copper pennies. Is your house sinking into the ground yet from all that weight? :) |

| Well, I know I have not sorted in a while. What little funds I have been used on other necessary expenses. Today, however I did do some drive-bys and managed to get $62. Stats will be posted after they are processed. |
