    unexpected plus today

    Heading out to meet with my brother at 9 this morning to break down some stuff we picked up on last nights curb shopping spree. well phone rings and its a customer that I picked up an engine block a week ago from. Says that he has a "small toyota mtr,small outboard mtr and a fridge that he needs picked up from his moms today. i say ok and get down to the house. Well the small toyota mtr turned out to be a block out of a 1990's 4 runner..300#plus #1 iron .16#, small outboard was a 25hp evenrude...305# dirty alum .20#, and a double door fridge 250# .12#...and we left the hoist at home !!!
    Yes, we didn't breakdown the fridge because of other stuff we had going on and with the yard taking as is, we figured why not.

    If I knew better what I was getting a bit earlier may have been able to break down the outboard and fridge. Have done fridges but that was my first outboard. Would have liked to rip into it to learn a bit. Hey I live on long island so I am sure it's not the last I will came across.
