Iggy,

It could be easy to hate you.

However your luck seems to follow a lot of hard work making luck so I'll just applaud.

Yeah. All I was trying to do, is to get a nice free welding cable to
make an extension. To get that, I had to watch Craigslist, go pay,
come back next day, load a 500 lb welder, unload a 500 lb welder, now
I need to sell the welder, test it, load it on a buyer's truck, etc.

So it sounds like a cool great deal, but per hour it is not so great.
