    I must admit I have on occasion lied to save my skin, but I refuse to get into a pissing contest on how to dismantle an aluminum highway trailer and have no need to learn the techniques you used.

    I have nothing of value to contribute to this forum and will not be posting of visiting here anytime soon in the near future, I've been retired from the scrap industry for a number of years now and have to desire to return.

    My garlic crop is beginning to show, the Satoh engine transplant is on schedule, were looking to purchase a small boat with a 9.9 four stroke to do some sport fishing this year. Have to do something to keep ourselves busy while waiting for those weeds in the garden to grow.

    Life is grand when you reach the point in your life having your pension direct deposited into your bank account, your home is mortgage free with another for rental income.

    You sir are a bum and don't have a pot to piss in looking for a hand out, I on the other hand have no need to anyone to give me a handout.

    Alloy2 - Members of the forum for less than five years will not know your previous forum name or the vast amount of knowledge you have shared for many years. I for one was motivated by your posts, learned a great deal, and patterned my scrapping around your experience. I hope you continue to be a valuable contributor to the forum The difference between us is that you made a living scrapping before retiring and I retired to start scrapping. Good luck to you.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    Sorry Alloy2 but you are not allowed to leave this forum. That's right, you must stay and continue to post pics of your projects and your garlic crop. I always look forward to your posts and pics.
