New member from South Dakota

Hello everyone. 3rd generation self employed scrapper here. I collect "junk" half the time, and do videography/video production the other half. Weird combination huh? I get an adrenalin rush just looking at anything metal. Here in South Dakota we have lots of farm machinery that could be scrapped, I don't get into that much. Deal mostly with aluminum and copper. Proudest moment: getting my 10 year-old great nephew started in the scrap business. He buys hunting gear and fireworks with his profits. Any "welcome" messages from other members here are welcome and appreciated!!!

Thanks, Pjost

Welcome, from North East South Dakota!!!

Welcome to the forum. Weird, is not always so weird! Even weird can have value, sometimes a lot of value. I personally think having a vast level of experience is what it takes to be a successful scraper. I have come to learn that weird, Isn't all that weird, weird is what others throw away!

welcome from iowa

Welcome from both eastern and western South Dakota. We are finally starting to get some representation on the forum. At least four members reside from here, maybe more.

And we want to keep that way.

lol...I stayed on topic thank you!

Anyhow, welcome again to the OP. If you can't tell we're a lively bunch from time to time.

Sirscrapalot - Some times your the puncher, and sometimes your the punching bag.

In South Dakota we call a cooler outside lol

The great state of South Dakota now has a preponderance of her population represented on this forum. Now if the other four would join, you would be totally represented. Just having fun guys! WELCOME.

See I'm not the only one picking on the Dakota residents. lol. Could be worse you guys could be Canadian, poor Jord an his north of the border Canadian posse had to suffer through many days of me cracking jokes.

An I like the Dakotas. Some day I need to visit, beautiful country an good folks from what I've seen/met.

We all still suffer from your wise cracks! The whole forum does! Theres no getting away from it! But its all good, we all enjoy it. Forum wouldnt be the same without your wise/smart remarks and quotes! If you didnt notice, someone created a thread "wheres sirScrap" when you went on your internet strike. We all missed ya man! LOL

Gettin off the rails here. Let me redeem myself.

Welcome to the forum, from Barrie Ontario Canada!

Welcome to the forum from sunny Florida. Maybe you could produce some awsome scrapping videos for us. We love scrapping videos from South Dakota.

Life without humor is like the Dakota's filled with people. Just not right.

An yes I noticed..like 2 weeks later when catching up. lol.

Welcome for the third time! Make sure you dip into Patriot's cooler, he's always bragging about it's full. ;)

Thanks sirscrspalot! Haha, funny stuff. I should have mentioned, besides scrapping and video work, we also have cows. Only about 50, soon to be 100, when they pop their babies out! Watch those greenhouse gases that come out a cows rear end!

Thanks happy scrapper. I'll think about the scrapping videos. The only thing I can think of that would be somewhat interesting is my cable stripper. Just bought it off eBay last winter. Thing is awesome, and fun to run. Paid for itself in a couple days.

Pjost your welcome to the forum when Sirs gives you a quote or two. My sister actually lives in your state, near Rapid City so I'm familiar with the diversity of a beautiful and a great place. I envy you with those cows, caves being born can be hard work until you've done a dozen or so.

class clown, trouble maker, rabble rouser...conductor of the crazy train..All labels I'll gladly accept. I've been called worse. lol

A life with out humor would suck far as I'm concerned.

What kind of video work do you do?

An remember, raid Patriot's cooler. Just leave a note saying.."Sirscrapalot couldn't make it, so he told me it was ok to take his share." ;)

SirScrap brings humour to the forum. But hes also really knowledgeable with stuff, except cars. Leave the cars to me and a few other guys! (Just kidding) Makes the forum feel friendly and welcoming.

Edit: sirscrap beat me to it!

Everything this week looks clear finally, this winter was only my second in the state so I don't ice fish yet but now its time to get the minnow traps out and fish on!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to add stay out of my area if you know what's good for ya!!!!!! If we catch anyone else scrapping in our territory it just leads to chatting, beer drinking, having them over for dinner, and no one gets any work done. its horrible :)

Ugh sounds horrible. Says no one ever.

I'm so scrapping in the Dakota's!

An yes, go with Jord, Cory, Tater an the other smart car guys. I can drive them, an I can break them. That's about it. An thanks Jord, but I'm still not giving you my cooler. ;) Though your welcome to a beverage or two!

Ditto that. A life without humor: boring. My videos are surprise, surprise, farm related. I used to do a lot of hunting and fishing shows. YouTube "Farm Rescue". It's a non profit that helps farmers plant or harvest if the are injured or ill, or have a natural disaster.

Awesome!!! Just got the boat pulled outta the pasture today. You gotta get into ice fishing. Costs a few $ to get setup, but once you do, it's just $2 for bait and whatever for gas. I'm out in the Webster area fishing almost every weekend. That is if the wind is under 45mph. Lol.

Welcome , from Asia

Whatever combos work for you as long as they're legal and ethical in my opinion. I actually have a professional job during the day but there's something about turning back metal to make it useful again is fun (as well as resource saving!). Most folks at my job place and community would probably be stunned that I like scrapping but to each their own...
