Strange and random things found while scrapping.

Found this one day while cutting an excavator apart.

I don't mean to offend anyone. I did not stamp it, I only found it and documented it. And now I'm sharing it with you.

Anybody else find anything like this? Share if you would like.

Maybe this'll help explain:

"Innovation in Motion
For more than 120 years, the Schaeffler Group with its brand FAG has been one of the leading manufacturers of precision rolling bearings for the automotive, mechanical engineering and aerospace industries."

Maybe the initials to the company that machined it,,,??

I've torn down some random stuff that had FAG brand bearings in it before.

I had to look it up online because I was really curious why that would be stamped on a bearing!

The whole time I thought it was just some mechanic who did this. I know I wrote a thing or two in "hell-holes" and fuel tanks which wouldn't be seen for a long time, just to give someone else a laugh down the road. I figured it was a universal mechanic thing when I found this. Made me feel like part of something bigger. But I'm not. Poor me. Haha oh well.

Thanks for enlightening me.

That's a funny looking cigarette...

If you remeber that you are old.......also, Mike.

Doing a Cleanout of a foreclosure I found a brick of white powder in the rafters. I made the assumption it was baby powder, wrapped it in a trash bag and tossed it in the dumpster. Sure didn't need law enforcement treating my job as a crime scene. But since it was obviously baby powder, there was nothing to report, right?

Have I mentioned this in a previous post? I'm déjà vu-ing.

Tearing down Apple All-In-One computers from a school. Found a penny in one and a dime in another. Knowing high school kids, I'm waiting for more imaginative stuff.

Yeah 10 to 15 years.

I was wearing gloves as I always do on job sites, so I know I didn't leave any prints on the baby powder wrapper. Some poor kid somewhere probably ended up with diaper rash...

I know Dune. But my moral compass wouldn't let me do anything but dispose of it. Besides I am a total coward and do not look good in orange.
