    Cool The old gray mare is what s he used to be

    Wile I am a he ,
    I felt challenged yesterday , I set off for the yard with around 300 # 350 # mix pounds at best . Then I saw a Old chain link fence in a dumpster there it was at 4:45 PM . It seemed like a innocent find you know a piece of cake. I can pull truck truck close to container and roll out on to truck bed .

    **** it was heavy .I pushed and part went proper and the other half went south then the whole thing fell along with it.
    Ok no problem I figured HA HA .

    Yard to close at 6:00 and I quickly found this was a heavy mother ******
    So now I am pissed at the failed load job (should of pulled truck closer) but excited with the weight (still on the ground)

    Grunting and lifting what I could , as I gained some ground I would tie what was on truck to stabilize But finally I got to the portion that was bunched and a tangle mess of Fence . a half hour had passed and now was the time to do what had to be DONE
    I got under it , cleared my head and went into my power zone . Agaaaaaeaeaea as loud as a grisly bear .
    and oh yeah in it went .



    My truck weighed in at 750 # I figure the fence was 400 to 450 pound
    how the heck I did it I don't know. But us scrappers are a sick bunch of people
