I was a bad picker today.

Talk a guy into keeping a vintage skull tail light for a motorcycle.
I'd love to buy it, but he kept telling all the stuff wrong with it. Broken wires and a busted bracket. Told him to repurpose it into a night light for the bathroom. Wire in a 25 cent night light so he could plug it into the bathroom. When he got up every night to pee, my age guy, it would light his way and put a smile on his face. Ended up agreeing with me and kept it.

I really love my job.

He has a ton of cool stuff and I did give him my card.
