My first plastic cracking of the year

Yes winter is on it's way up in the northeast . I busted up a vac
and it was so easy compared to summer and even fall
The season is changing.
The hunters of the motor know when seasons change.

I bro has had two times within the past year or so end up with some yardage of ACSR on his property. The first time it was the old black thinner plastic and I spent time actually peeling this stuff off of about 30+ feet (wasn't reading SMF yet). Took it in the non-ferrous "yard" and because I had not unwound the wires to get the steel one out of the mix, they still gave me the coated price of 20 cents a pound. I had just had a tooth ranked so wasn't too fired up to take the stuff back home.

A while later bro ended up with another 30+ feet but this time coated with a heavier plastic. I asked the guy at this non-ferrous place an easy way to remove the plastic and said when it was really cold, cut off a 6 feet or so piece and whack it hard against the concrete a few times and the plastic will shatter. Well, I tried this last winter and nothing happened. Maybe the lighter black plastic stuff will shatter in the cold but not this new coating. A dozen whacks and nothing happened. I took the 44 pounds in and got my 20 cents a pound...
