Today started off very interesting as it was snowing when I woke up. One might think, snowing, no big deal. Well, for most that would be correct, but I live in New Orleans where it flurries about once every ten years. It has only snowed like this maybe once or twice before here in my lifetime.

I went in to work as usual and carefully avoided the crazies on the road who freak out when there's rain and more so when there's snow. After being there a whole fifteen minutes, the powers that be decided that they would give us a "snow" day since none of our vehicles are equipped to handle icy road conditions.

On my way home, I happened to see two workers bringing an aquarium out to the curb and subsequently the stand that went with it. I turned around and went back to find what I had though to be a 30 gallon, up close, was in actuality a 75 gallon. I asked one of the workers if they were throwing it out and after he confirmed it I asked for his help to load it into my truck.

Right place, right time! A free 75 gallon tank with stand and other miscellaneous gear!. :WHOA:
 
HEY! Give back my tank!

Kidding....congrats! :)

Awesome pick up. Free is my favorite...

There's crazies everywhere. We've got over a foot of snow already, and everytime people are still speeding down the highway and smashing up their SUV's. It's always the 4x4's in the ditch here, they think they're invincible. LMAO.
 
Nice pick up. My sister live in Seattle and one time when I was visiting it snowed. Like in New Orleans they are not good snow drivers there. I think my sister almost killed us 3 times in 5 miles.
 
Cant beat free!
