SCORE!

Every once in a while looking through your neighbors trash is a good thing.

Here in the South, we call it "dumpster diving". And with dumpster diving you occasionally get a score.

Once when the boys were dumpster diving they came home with a battery

powered car. It was a large enough size to fit two small children. Of course

our boys put a car battery inside what used to have a hood and powered

several kids around the yard until the battery caught on fire. Later they took out the braking mechanism which aloud it to free glide down the

slope of the driveway and later the hill down the street. They didn't do it in until someone hooked it up behind a motorcycle and pulled it at speeds which it was never intended to go. We had that "score" for several years.

Today I went outside to find that Ben and a buddy had scored a go cart from

down the street. They fixed the linkage on it and spray painted it. And now

they are in the process of test driving it.

There's nothing like a score to make you feel lucky!
