    Be nice to your local Direct TV guy...it does pay off.

    So was walking up the road to a business near me, to show them the results of me destroying a hard drive for them, and I came across a fella that lives up the road from me that works for direct tv. Always see his van, but never the guy! So today I did! We got to talking told him what i do an whatnot. He was pretty interested an asked if I had any use for anything other then the receivers an such. I told him of course! So he starts rooting through the van an pulling things out an asking if these are things that interest me. Of course I said yes, as they were dish parts, etc. Which thanks to Mech's recent post I know have nice high grade boards.

    So yea..long story short...He's gonna root through the van and his house and be bringing me by a bunch of stuff. An yes it'll be reoccurring. Says he normally just tosses it in a dumpster, but would rather see it recycled properly.



    He wouldn't even let me make an offer with money, so I told him I'd buy'm his beverage of choice. LOL. Total cost..8.00..he drinks cheap beer..lol. Paid when he brings the stuff by.

    I'll be seeing wire, the arms from dishes, some metal, and other assorted Sat equip. Just no receivers.

    I chalk it up as a win. Networking is a good thing.

    Sirscrapalot - Had a good day, is now off to enjoy a beverage from the cooler.
