    Got a call out

    Yesterday I got a call from one of my friend, he wanted me to pick up a oxygen cincentrator that he was using for parts and four oxygen bottles, plus an old dryer, well the concentrator yielded some stainless steel and aluminum and the oxygen bottles, which they were all empty and the regulators taken off of them, made $ 18.00 off of the concentrator parts and the dryer, Monday I will call to see if they will accept the bottles, I hope they do.

    Any bottles/tanks like that I have to cut them in half for my yard to accept them. Yours may be different.

    My main yard just recently accidentally sheared a full helium bottle. Just missed seriously injuring or killing someone. The other half of the bottle landed 300 feet away in a residential neighborhood. Yard was told the bottle was empty.

    Wow, you are right it could have killed someone, or seriously injured a person, the oxygen bottles that I picked are completely empty, I have already took off the regulators and you can see straight down into the bottles itself, but you can be nun to careful when dealing with stuff like that, with me I am overly cautious, because I don't want to be in the hospital or even worst dead.
