to pick up 5 gall buckets? I'll also stop (when possible) to get a good 4x4 or realtor type sign I can use for target practice, my old man (RIP) would be proud.

I got a nice 8 foot ladder one day.

Found more than a few useful things.

What I see most often are tumbleweaves. I've been taking pictures of them to compile one day into a David Attenborough style thread.

I’ve done that to pick up a sledge hammer once.

A good 5 gal bucket is a good 5 gal bucket. If this board doesn’t understand that, frick em. They are too soft to understand the big picture.

Years ago the chairman of the board of one of our local banks was an old guy who never married and lived at his camp out on the lake. All he did was fish, hunt, and make money. Somebody saw him on the side of the road picking up cans one time and said, "you're the richest man in town, why are you picking up cans>" He replied, "that's why I'm rich and you're not."

I only pull off for ladders because ladders are fricking expensive.





And one time for a goose decoy.

Some of my best finds are an ice chest, 5 gallon speed gas can, 6’ Werner ladder, and channel locks.

And I’ll slam the brakes on for a milk crate in a heartbeat.

Eta: forgot that one time I stopped on Ambassador in front of Stines to pick up four 10’ 2x6’s. Used those to help build a deer stand.

Found a large tackle box full of spinner baits once off the side of the road. Good times.

If younlive within 30 min of me, don't pick up 5 gallon buckets. Sometimes construction workers shite in them and leave by the road in emergency situations

Saw a suitcase once and stopped to pick it up. Was worth my trouble. That's all I can say about it.

It is all about timing and circumstance.

I was living in Houston when Ike hit and the day after, I went with a buddy to go checkout his place in Galveston. The causeway was still closed, so we launched up in Chocolate Bayou and crossed West Bay. We had a boat load full of construction type items so it was a tight fit. The first quarter mile, we were freaking out by all the kayaks and ice chests we saw.

We soon grabbed an Igloo. We then immediately ditched it for a better Igloo. We then ditched THAT igloo for a Yeti. After getting to the ICW we were ignoring all ice chests and had stopped counting them. By the time we reached his place in Jamaica Beach, we had stopped counting ice ce chests AND kayaks. We could've loaded a barge.

My uncle once pulled off a busy I-10 to make 9yr old me run into the median to get a bouncy ball. A fricking bouncy ball.
