    The day after the last post, I found another, green this time, jerry can, canny?! Another kg of window putty, some Kerosine and linseed oil, all yard sale leftovers I think, someone needed them gone.

    The next day, a lawn mower again, this time its a 2 stoke, plenty of compression, yay.
    Stripped out 4 tvs, Ali extrusion from a fridge and scrapped down the 7 servers after all.
    I carried the large fridge compressor on my back and pushed home the lawnmower with the rest of the stuff on it.
    Nice haul.

    Today, talked to the guy with the tvs, told him about the red jerrycan, he mentioned he'd like to have one, would pay for it (the red one) as he's got a car the same colour. So I'm giving him that one and I will keep the green one.
    I stacked corrigated roofing iron at the scrapmetaldumpoff yard, to make more space for them.
    And got a car aircon compressor, dunno if its a piston sort yet. That's what I'm looking for for my lathe.
    Scrapped out 5 crts with super thick cables, one random one of med size cable.
    A couple of store display steel tubes for my gocarts.
    And the last two motherboards from the servers I scrapped yesterday and a fridge compressor. Car spark coil.
    Total today 35kg, small load....
    I left a reduction drive I found from a old car, its still got long metal bits stuck to it, reduction drives are handy, great drop in revs for something like a rumbler I intend to build from a flying saucer shaped gas bottle.

    Tomorrow, intend to do another 5 crts, fridge compressor, reduction drive and see what else I can pick up.
