Date Completed: (Day 83 of Experiment)

Number of Days Required to Complete Step: 15 Days

Completion Scenario:

October 10th, 2006 - Went to the Wine Store this evening and "returned" 159 Bottles and Cans. I was unable to return them all because the clerk shut us down at exactly 8:00pm. I still had a box of beer cans left that I will have to return later. Received Total of $7.95. Then went over to Stop & Shop and returned more plastic bottles and cans that the machines at the wine store didn't want to take. Managed to put through another 28 for $1.40 more. Total for the day $9.35

Running Total: $89.35

October 13th, 2006 - I did more work on the computer I previously had worked on. Assisted the owner by going to Circuit City and getting the router and cable modem and set everything up. I was paid $40.00 for my time and effort. I am adding those funds to DTAMP.

Running Total: $129.35

October 15th, 2006 - Spent the day gathering Bottles and Cans. Managed to get about three and half garbage bags full. Later in the evening stopped at Wendy's for dinner and found a penny ($0.01) that was mostly hidden under the cash register. Slipped it out and asked the clerk if I could keep it and she said "yes", so have added it to DTAMP. It is only "one" found penny.

Running Total: $129.36

October 19th, 2006 - On a trip to pick up a pair of glasses I found a dime ($0.10) in the parking lot.

Running Total: $129.46

October 21st, 2006 - Today I took the large load of Bottles and Cans for redemption at the Wine Store. I turned in 202 Bud Cans, 93 Bud Bottles and 108 glass, plastic and other aluminum cans for a total of 403.

403@ $0.05 cents each equals $20.15.

In addition I went to Shaws Supermarket and turned in 4 more that the Wine Store machines wouldn't take and got $0.20 more. Total for the day $20.35

When I got home and took everything out of my coat pockets I found I had forgotten to turn in another slip for 32 Plastic Bottles @ $1.60. I will need to go back to the store and turn in that Ticket and add those funds to DTAMP on my next update.

Running Total: $149.81

October 22nd, 2006 - I went to the Wine Store and turned in the remaining ticket for $1.60 for 32 Plastic Bottles I had returned on the day before. I then spent the afternoon looking for more Bottles and Cans. After sorting through and doing a preliminary count it looks like there will be enough to complete Step Fifteen!

Running Total: $151.41

October 24th, 2006 - Brought in bottles and cans, that had recently been picked up, to the Wine Store. 56 Bud Bottles, 84 Bud Cans and 32 other aluminum (machine) cans for a total of 172.

172 @ $0.05 = $8.60

$151.41 + $8.60 = $160.01 - $0.01 (overflow) = $160.00

OverFlow - There has been $0.01 (a penny) made more than permitted under the rules and I will be removing that penny from the "stake".

Running Total: $160.00

Grand Total: $160.00
