    Today was a good day

    Responded to a craiglist ad for a commercial fridge from a convenient store yesterday and picked it up this morning. Besides being really heavy, it was loaded with copper, cu/alu radiators, motors and more. The best part is when the store owner asked if I take treadmills and had me follow him home to get it. He had tvs, monitors, fans, and a host of other stuff. It was a nice load. The moral of the story is just when it looks like the day is going to be a slow one, stay optimistic. For scrappers things only get better because stuff is always breaking or get outdated and people are always throwing them out.

    I keep getting reminded that treadmills have a DC motor in them. Which people will buy to make a windmill powered generator.
