    Do you think you can clear $1,000 per month in 3 days a week hard running, or little day jobs?
    I do, if you have a head for business.

    Heck, you could clear $250 per week at any bottom feeder - even with those hours.

    I think they move a fair amount of steel out of your area. Should be no problem
