Some examples include cardboard manufacturing, scrap metal, drywall manufacturing, lumber wholesaling, and cement deliveries for making concrete.

I don't usually post too much about upcoming travel. I am making an exception. Next week I am going on an eight country trip in Southern Africa. It's a solo trip. It's quite complicated and plans are just that --plans. Reality makes its own plans. Below is the URL of my rented satellite GPS messenger ( Spot X ) The URL will track and show you my location for two weeks starting Feb 6th, 2024. You will need to zoom in on Southern Africa. https://maps.findmespot.com/s/Y3YX
