    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I've never been to a scrap yard that you have to put your load in a cart to have it weighed lol. weird.

    It looked like those guys were all unloading aluminium. Actually, having them backed into the dock like that looked pretty efficient.

    What I want to know is, who here did NOT find themselves looking for scrap during the driving down the alleys sequences?

    I was recently contacted by a producer that wants to do a reality show on scrapping. They asked if I would join.

    Only problem is I don't really have a daily routine. And a lot of the stuff I do is in the middle of the night when you have to be quiet.

    Blah. And I'm not sure I lead an interesting enough life for them to want to film it. hehe

    I wont let anyone follow me...Don't want people to know where I get my stuff or how I go about getting it. I fee its a trade secret an should be treated as so.
