Saturday at the Yard

I ran a load to the yard yesterday and it was really busy for a weekend 10 people in line. Finding stuff alongside the road wasn't working out so I bought some communication equipment at auction and broke it down. It was two metal cabinets and turned out to be 120lbs alum, 35lbs high grade boards, some RAM, 6 CPUs intel i960s two huge power supplies half a dozen fans (still braking down the copper). Only problem is prices seemed to have gone south on aluminum last month received .62 for cans .60 Alum sheet.

Aluminum Cans .47
Alum Irony Sheet .26
Power Supplies .40
Elec Breakage .10
Circuit Boards Hi 3.40
ICW Low Grade .66
Processors ceramic 3.00oz
circuit board hi PII 3.40oz
circuit boards memory .48oz

After the yard I drove down to the waterfront near Safeco and Seahawk stadiums and watched some serious demolition of highway 99

They had over 3000 people climb up the bridge deck in the rain to watch the demo and Monday morning their calling it Viadoom. I wonder where all the rebar is going?

LOL 47 cents a lb I picked up a couple lbs today. People like to drink in my neighborhood mostly 22ounce Hurricane, 4 Loko, colt 45 hi class ghetto beers. Have had folks passed out on our block face down. Sold 32lbs about half of my cans.

Someone told me the price for aluminum and aluminum cans are higher in the summer. Any truth to that? There's a guy parting out an ISP Internet Service Provider switches, routers and modems 77 pieces asking $500 I have to go take a look.

at least you live in an old school ghetto, here I havent found a recycler for those little tiney baggies and hypo needles that have replaced the alu beer cans on my street yet.

Those needles are one of the reasons I can't see jumping into a dumpster to look for stuff. Not worth the hepatitis, etc.

^ Exactly.
