    Temporary retirement

    In the last month i have had some good luck and bad. But now the bad is starting to get the better of me

    Scrapped out my Suburban (hauler) my trailer is frozen to the ground an no money to get another truck or something with a hitch to get anything hauled.
    So at least until all the snow is gone i am pretty much done with scrap until April/May when all the snow is gone and the ground is dried up some



    I will still be putzin around with the computer stuff but not as much as i would have hoped to do as i cant haul everything i am offered in my small car

    Sorry to hear that...I grew up in Minnesota and know how winter's can drag out there.

    I didn't even need to look where you where from when you used the word "Putzin", I just knew.

    Do what you can with what you have. I have been scrapping in a '98 Sable and can put 300-500 lbs of steel in it if its packed right. Once had 30 towers in it between the trunk,backseat and front seat. I am sure if you had to you could find a friend or relative to loan you a vehicle if it was a big load.

    Good luck and I hope the weather turns for you soon.

    yeah if i had a big enough load i got a friend that will help me haul but its gotta be a BIG load because he uses a 24 foot flatbed hauler and trying to schedule enough for that all in one day for me would take awhile
