    They Know I'm A Scrapper!

    Stopped at a friend's house last night: one monitor, 3 towers, a printer, a box of aluminum rods and a box of misc cords.



    Got a call from a friend last week: two vacuums, a TV and word that a corner of the barn is reserved for the stuff they will save for me.

    Another friend is sitting on two window AC units and a fridge that we will work on come spring. He also has aline on a storage unit full of e-scrap. We will be splitting his stuff.

    Also waiting for better weather is a cast iron tub and a double kitchen sink.

    I also have a couple of sources for wheel weights. Some free some 25 cents a pound. I sort out the zinc and steel for the scrap yard. The rest gets smelted down to sell to bullet casters at $1 a pound.

    A second hand shop saves their TV's computers and monitors for me. The tubes go to good will. I call ahead and they get a guy out with pallets to load them on.

    I wonder what I would have if I tried to market myself!

    Bill, I am happy for you. As a scrapper you are going to have your good days, slow days, and exceptional days. Just be preparedfor it all. Scrappers always come out on top.
