    my day

    i started out the day sleeping in, then i played around on the forum, made a post of forum etiquette went outdside and took some alum wheels off a truck we had bought, started cutting up steel fire extinguishers as we have ran out of alum ones, popped the brass fittings off of several 2in fire hoses. went and sold the truck, went to a nearby town and got a little nissan truck ( brand new gallon of antifreeze behind the seat 70 cents in theashtray) dont know what else is in there find out in the morning dark now ive got the computers coming this weekend from my buddy at the credit union made me remember something, picked it up at the landfill back in the summer





    anyway its my first one i know i gotta take the little green things off, the power supply, fan, and the board are held in with screws and my bit set is in the truck. i had fun with it and realize i can do them inside. i called my partner and let him know i went ahead and put an ad on craigslist, i see you guys buy them for $5 all the time and no one here is doing it that i can find. i guess we will pile them up in our storage container in the back and work on them if we ever finish our fire extinguishers.
