    Well it's good to be back. Hope everyone is doing well.

    I've been busy cleaning out an office space to get some storage racks from their warehouse. Free for the taking. After meeting the guy on site I saw stacks of servers, switches, routers and other telecom and network equipment. They were going to remove all hard drives and dump the rest.

    The racks are up and I'm starting to dig out my truck that has been partially covered up for years now. Hoping to post some pictures soon.

    This was my garage before I started scrapping and my truck was still running. I believe my scrapping days will be ending in the next few years and I want to get the truck running again.

    Picture of it taken in 1991 in the field where our house sits now.



    Time flies....

    Take care with that one Jim. One of my customers inherited a partially restored Firebird that had been sitting in his Father in Laws garage for years. He fueled it up, pulled out of the station, and the carb caught on fire.

    The fuel system gets awfully tender over the years. The old machines weren't made to run on ethanol blended gas. It's wicked corrosive. You pretty much have to go through everything from the gas tank to rebuilding the carb before turning the key to see if she will crank. It's a labor of love.

    Tomorrow I open up the garage.

    For a weeks worth of work, I came out alright. Tomorrow going to cut the cats off of the vehicles next week the scrap hauler takes them away.

    Remember Jack he sold the yard to another guy who's decent to deal with.

    This job was one of the easiest I've done, cash and carry.

    The Chinese and the Russians attempted something similar back in 2011 through the IMF. It didn't go over very well.

    A lot of water has passed under the bridge since 2011, twelve years worth, the shores have been eroded. BRICS is coming within our lifetime.
