    School started, Got accepted to Microsoft Refurbisher Program, Got registered with a Distributing company to buy packs of Windows to install. Ready to get to work! I did buy that trailer, 700 bucks can't beat it everything is fine with it, it doesn't have ramps but I'll have them made at my tech school.

    I'm going to be making some heavy duty ramps for that trailer in my Welding class this year. So I'm good on those. I also picked up a dryer today, nothing special. Since my teachers have me getting my parents to signs form and what not, I am stapling one of my cards to each form, I see it as easy advertising lol cause alot of people have to see them.

    Here's a little tip about consolidating your scrap, had a lot of computer towers and put them in one of the fridges to take in.


    Load I took in today.


    1700 pounds of shred. 2 car batteries and like 7 pounds of wire that I just cut off of the fridges quick. Didn't feel like breaking the appliances down since I don't really need too with my E-waste giving me a good bit.
    What's the point of shooting up scrap and spreading all kinds of non biodegradables in the ground. That's counter productive and inconsiderate. That's the same kind of back woods mentally the scrapping trade is avoiding. Just make your money it don't make a mess. Nice haul. Respect the trade.

    We raked everything up, nothing was left. That's my hunting land too I don't want to have it stinking up scaring all the deer

    The reason we shot it up was for a lot of our friends to get together and have some fun. We had some friends come that we haven't seen for a year or two.

    Okay, some people might have already thought about it when they see me my name, But some people dumb foundedly think its pronounced a vulgar term that rhymes with Rock. So I just put it as that. The real pronunciation is how you say "Coke", Its my german last name so.'

    Took in a scrap load the other day, got $310, hauled 2100 pounds of shreds on my new piece of sh*t trailer lol. Pics a coming.

    I'm back. Trapping season is in full swing, Sold a lot of those computers, back in school. I've been inactive due to senior year of high school and being busy with that and what not, but I got some debts of stupidity to pay so I'm back at it even in winter (Which is something I don't normally do, cause I'm a wussy when it comes to cold and scrapping.) But I gotta make some extra income so I'm here once again!

    Keep it up, hard work under difficult conditions will give you a better education than is possible in any school. It will motivate you and put you light years ahead of your peers. Mike.

    I got a call from a guy that runs a bunch of prisons in my state. He wants to buy all 16 of my cheapest towers that I have to put in there network system for the prisons in the state. All I got to do is load a copy of win xp on it for the guy and I got me an easy 1600 bucks. I'm maybe considering this a career of refurbishing computers.
