Big day tomorrow. Going to have at least three huge loads, #tonsoffun

I was contacted today by the facilities maintenance supervisor from my old work at a newspaper. He's in charge of seven sites in Ohio and they are removing the presses out of the main site because they no longer print there. He has told me to come and get everything I can , I'm allowed to get anything other than parts of the press. When I work there I would dream about scrapping all kinds of things from there taking it apart getting paid for the immense weight of these items. I get things from copper-bearing Motors two computers to Old Telecom equipment to light ballast I am just super super excited and I don't know if I can control myself. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas morning I don't know if I will sleep tonight, I will post pics, have to share a day like this.

im sure everyone is happy for you
and also envious

just take pics of everything for us and we will be satisfied

Had 670 pounds of electric motors on the second trip and 900 pounds of shred on the second trip and the first trip had 1500 pounds of shred. Cut my thumb open pretty good had to get three stitches on the second trip still have probably 3 or 4 more trips to go.

Pics 2

Great score! Got any pictures of the thumb?

Looks like you have a lot of good stuff. I just skimmed through them very quickly because they all fell over and it's hard for me to look at pics like that.

I did notice one that looked like someone had a burrito.

Don't forget resale. Double, triple, 10x the money.

Super Glue...it'll save you on doctor bills.

First time is always the best...scrap run people. not whatever you were thinking!

Especially if those Timken boxes still have new bearings in them.

A lot of the bearings are brand new but they go to paper press parts, wouldn't know where to send or advertise them lol.

I am a noon when it comes to this stuff, I have plenty of repair experience and resale on big items, I have never used ebay, not even bought off of it Mike. Sorry to seen I'm a moron but my inexperience shows. Didn't have a father to show me anything about life, so self taught here and still learning.
