Kadizzle enjoys being cheap, and frugal. One thing Kadizzle has always enjoyed is finding things people are throwing out and fixing them. Too many times the fix is so easy. A good way to start is just take the cover off the damn thing. Often you will find a screw has come loose or a little something is shorting out a circuit.
Kadizzle dreamed of a large hydrualic jack he could move boulders with. Yesterday at Dave the sign guy's messy picnic table Kadizzle saw a twelve ton jack. Kadizzle asked Dave what he would sell it for. Dave said it was broken and Kadizzle could have it. Hydraulic jacks are easy to fix. Almost always they just need some fluid. Sure enough after filling the jack, it worked fine. A new jack would be from $50 to $150 dollars.
Living in a neighborhood where new houses are being built makes us aware of the incredible waste. A lot of good lumber is wasted in the process of building a home, along with tile, roofing, and you name it.
We live in an incredibly wasteful society. On PBS last night there was a heartbreaking segment about the suffering people in Afghanistan. Kadizzle could hardly watch, and you could tell the host Judy Woodruff was about to cry. Young starving children, and babies dying. Meanwhile billionaires take rocket rides to space. That is the free market a good Republican will tell you.
