    If I worked at a scrapyard.. I'd go INSANE!

    Ok.. so this has happened so many times.. but today iced the cake for me. As I drag in my pittance to the yards from time to time.. I always just look at what is around me. Today I was at one of my yards dragging in a small bit of sheet steel and in front of me is a truck and trailer hauling a Chrysler Concord. Aluminum Rims, 2 good tires, never been touched (i.e. no converter off, no wiring out, no battery or other engine goodies) How Do I know? THEY DROVE IT OFF THE TRAILER!

    I facepalmed so hard I nearly knocked myself out! I even told the guy at the pay shed- "I could never work here.. I'd go INSANE watching people bring things in that with just a TINY bit of effort they could have made a BUNCH of extra money." He just laughed.. knowing he just made a killing!

    Occupational hazard I suppose.

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
