    Where's Cory

    First I've heard I've been missed a little by a few and someone told me today to make a post. I'll be honest, just been taking it easy the last few weeks, gradually hauling off cars and got a couple lined up to buy on Monday, I've got 15 left in my stockpile. Jumping around a little here so

    I took a job with a company that audits, maintains, and refuels backup power systems for mainly cell phone towers but anything that needs backup power which is limitless. So far I have only worked on propane and diesel but we also do hydrogen and natural gas. We also haul generators. The last couple months I've worked in Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. To be honest and the few guys I've talked to on the phone know how excited I get it's by far the best gig I've ever had. Unless we have a natural disaster the next few weeks I don't go back till January but should be covered up for most of the year.

    That being said I didn't make it to Nebraska but I did watch it on tv, I'm hauling cars off when I get bored of whatever's on tv, actually have bought a few cars but I'm pretty picky and keeping it to just two or three a week. Whenever I come home for a week or so I'll repost my cl ads but scrapping is going to be secondary.

    That's the short version, hope everyone had a great thanksgiving your friend cory couch

    expect the worst and hope for the best

    Glad to hear all is going so well. The job sounds great. You get to travel and there is a good amount of variety in it. Far more than many get in their jobs and you still get to do some scraping. Thanks for stopping by. There has been a few questions come up over the past that I expected you to chime in on so you have been missed. Mike.

    Thanks Mike very much, I will say I've always been fortunate in my jobs, good luck I guess. I'll try to check in a little more often(been on 3 days in a row now) and there has been a few threads I'm really glad I caught up on.

    Well, just got a call a moment ago telling me to pack my bags, subject to change. But I should be going on the road again Sunday night or early Monday morning. We have several generators to be serviced between now and the end of the year. When I asked where I was going he named about every state between Kansas Texas and Florida so they are still working out the details and I have no idea where I'll be going.

    I'll try to play catch up a little while I'm gone this time so you guys won't think I fell in the shredder
