It started raining hard last night, so I cleaned down degaussing cables & yokes so I got 6kg Copper wire to add to a sack of 45kg so I had a nice round number of 50kg in that sack.
Today I went into town to get another cut off disc for my 9inch grinder, NZ$9.50 ... Thats US$7.00 expensive? I think it it is.. But its better to use a brand new one to cut the loops off the end of the windings on electric motors.
Theres 16 plus fridge compressors to cut open, plus just motors too.
Went past the scrapmetal dropoff area today, found 2 computers, 1 was a 'off board CPU black fibre' sort, with hard drive etc.
The other, weirdly, has the same 8 channel audio (7.1 audio) motherboard, as a motherboard I found a couple of days ago, with a 350Gb harddrive etc. Im keeping that one, its got a 'all pin underside' CPU.
The rest of the scrap was still there too, I thought it would be all cleaned up & taken off as shred by the owner.
So, toonight, I have to go pick up the boards from the plasma tv, 2 fridge compressors, printer & shift the bricks..
Its cold tonight, but no rain so far.
In my off time I have been watching the 'World at war' series of dvds. B&W info films for the American soldiers.
Very interesting, so much I have heard about but didn't know the references too, like Dunkirk.
We owe soooo much to the US of A. For what they did, rightly and justly, with true honour. Against huge odds.
It was only a few years ago that I found out about my familys part at the time. I don't know my familys history, what they did, my Grandfather was nicknamed by his war nickname & I guess my Pop served too.
Fathers uncle (Grandfather brother) died in nth Africa, after a huge epic situation of survial of amazing coincedences & hardships. I found a book in a 2nd hand shop that was written during the mid 80's.
Untill then, not much was known about what happened, people just didn't talk about it. Im not sure when or how he died, but I get the impression that one of the unnamed people was my relitive, by his nickname and demenor, "he allways saw the bright side of things."
But, it was about or just after December 7th 1941.
