Over and Out

Rich Hartford · Feb 18, 2010

Last week I'm driving through snow to pick up my boxes. I'm driving through the snow to dump. I'm dumping at the last minute yesterday morning so I have enough cash to pick up my 14 boxes. I go to pick up my boxes and I get the farthest and only parking space left, and mistakenly carry five boxes instead of 4 to the car. After I'm loaded up I get to carry these coins up a flight of stairs.
This morning while dumping, making 7 50 pound trips to the bank I started thinking... at 57 years old this is starting to feel like work.
Plus as much as I admired President Kennedy I don't ever want to see his face again be it in silver or clad.
So next week I'll pick up 8 boxes instead of 14 and call it quits for a while. If I pick up the elusive dream box I'm still taking a break.

Breaks are refreshing in the sense that it helps clear your head. I usually take summer breaks and get my fix dirt fishing. Sometimes though, it's hard to shake that monkey off your back. Good luck! ffd

Understand how you feel. I think I'm going to quit pretty soon myself. The same reason, dumping becomes a work instead of hobby.

Probably good to take a break. Personally I don't want to chance losing my dump banks as I've been pushing the envelope these past couple of months. So I'll give it a rest,preserve my dump banks, and maybe give it a go in the future.
The silver will still be out there.
