    Been very busy over the last three weeks. None of it made money, but many memories. Drove from Wyoming to Baltimore Maryland in 24 hrs. Stranded in Baltimore (ice storm), then in Minneapolis (blizzard), and then Sioux Falls (blizzard). Furnace went out at the ranch and major broken water lines upon the return. Spent eight hours trying to get the furnace working and finally called a contractor after starting the fire place. When he was working on the furnace he asked if I would be interested in their inventory of old furnaces and air conditioners. He said they pay to haul them to the dump. He said they have 15 - 20 per month and would give them to me. When I told him I would give him 1/3 of the scrap price, he smiled and said he might have more business for me.

    So this means e-scraping might be in the cards. At least these items can be hauled indoors to be separated, unlike the farm machinery. - 15 today and spent the day repairing a trailer. During the next blizzard, the furnaces and air conditioners will be prepared. On top of all of this, a remodel of the ranch house is a priority. Already created a cedar shower and want to build a cedar sauna. The cedar is compliments of the water tank project.

    Life is good. Head up, tail down, and good luck. It only gets better with age.
