Still remember throwing overboard all trash, desks, broken chairs and anything we couldn't use while still in international waters before getting to Portsmouth Va shipyard that keeps me motivated to recycle. Learned from ol' yard birds how to find deals, scrap metal and make things out of nothing. Now I am just a small biz owner and disabled navy vet trying to stay afloat on land but God is good all the time!
