    cars and computers

    i finally got the computers from the credit union, got 16 of them i think i told you guys i was getting 20 to 30 and that was weeks ago, but they are here and he said they would update again early next year, im extremely happy to get what i got, they all had a 128 video card, most of them had 256 ram and 20gig harddrives that had already been wiped




    and just so you guys know i get crappy cars to i usually just show you the nice ones, here is the astro van that kicked my tail last week, we just scrapped it today along with the cougar, we got the buick this morning scrapped it also, was supppose to get a chevy s10 this evening but no answer when i called. nothing but cars not to scrap in the yard now, the bmw, jaguar, and a chrysler cirrus you havnt seen, it will go forwards but not reverse. anyway its been slow for us to i guess compared to what we were doing. got our first car today since friday, i was thinking we would tear it up this week as all the schools are on spring break. suppose to look at a snap-on box tomorrow from the guy i bought the bmw from other than that no calls no leads kinda slow im gonna enjoy the break suppose to rain tomorrow anyway.

    just realized the first pic withthe computers, you can see the boxes that the yard sent me with the aluminum tanks, one of our stacks of aluminum wheels and radiators to break down, also one behind me and a larger pile next to our storage container, and of course fire extinguishers

    Hey Cory thanks for all the info on fire extinguishers. did my first one a week ago, 10 lb abc extinguisher. My yard only needs the valves off. Anyway I called one of the fire service companies near me on Monday. Got a call back today. Person asked a few questions, but when he asked what it will cost his company for me to remove them I told him no cost to him. After he finished choking on his coffee I had to repeat it twice for him because he didn't believe me. He said I would definitely be getting a call back tomorrow from his boss. Hope it works out. Have a few more places to call around to. Wanted to say thanks again and I hope your good fortune continues.
