    Great day today!

    I started out by swinging up by my old high school because I knew that the small engines class sometimes threw away a lot of good metal. When I got there 6 mower decks and an aluminum ladder were sitting next to the dumpster so I called my old teacher up and asked if I could take them, he gave me the green light so I loaded them up and headed home. On the way I saw a pile of stuff in a driveway that looked like garage sale left overs so I pulled up and went to the door to ask if I could pick through it. That man said no problem and I got a few goodies including two fertilizer spreaders and a weed whip. while I was picking through the pile the neighbor stopped mowing his lawn and asked what I do with all the mowers so I told him I recycled them.he then asked if I save the engines, yes I do, so he asked if I wanted a john deere mower that had a bad deck but a great engine, Heck Yea! So we loaded it up and I gave him one of my sheets with things I take, what I do, and contact info. told him to give me a call if he had anything and he said he would because he was in the process of moving. anyway sorry for the long post but it was a good day considering that all happened in 20 minutes! haha

    Nice score CollegeScrapper, that John Deere could bring you some good money if the deck is fixable, even if it isn't you could do well with the parts.

    Far Out Man, great score daddy-o! *translation for Bear*
