    Unhappy Pretty good week (long version)

    Beginning of week my father in law hooked me up with some scrap metal he had from a few jobs. Then he asks me to get rid of an old anvil he has had sitting on the side of his garage because he keeps "tripping over it". Did a little homework, threw it on ebay and scored $250.00 from it. Its an old solid steel anvil from Scheffield, England. I did not realize how sought after anvils were till now. Today scored a new customer, an auto repair shop. Loaded up a bunch of rotors,drums,shocks,springs, exhausts, etc plus 4-5 aluminum heads, two aluminum intakes, one tranny and a cat from who knows what. Scrap yard is only 4 miles from the shop and I managed 1200 lbs of steel alone from that load. Not including the aluminum which I will bring to another yard with my home stash. Went back to the owner and threw him 20 percent to keep him happy (plus he helped load the trailer). He said to come back every 15 days for another load. And yes, my father law will be getting the full $250.00 whether he likes it or not.
