New member from South Dakota

**pjost** · 04-10-2014, 11:54 AM

Hello everyone. 3rd generation self employed scrapper here. I collect "junk" half the time, and do videography/video production the other half. Weird combination huh? I get an adrenalin rush just looking at anything metal. Here in South Dakota we have lots of farm machinery that could be scrapped, I don't get into that much. Deal mostly with aluminum and copper. Proudest moment: getting my 10 year-old great nephew started in the scrap business. He buys hunting gear and fireworks with his profits. Any "welcome" messages from other members here are welcome and appreciated!!!

Thanks, Pjost

Welcome to the forum. Weird, is not always so weird! Even weird can have value, sometimes a lot of value. I personally think having a vast level of experience is what it takes to be a successful scraper. I have come to learn that weird, Isn't all that weird, weird is what others throw away!

Welcome from both eastern and western South Dakota. We are finally starting to get some representation on the forum. At least four members reside from here, maybe more.

That's like half the state, if you can get the cattle to post you'd have full state representation.

The great state of South Dakota now has a preponderance of her population represented on this forum. Now if the other four would join, you would be totally represented. Just having fun guys! WELCOME.

We all still suffer from your wise cracks! The whole forum does! Theres no getting away from it! But its all good, we all enjoy it. Forum wouldnt be the same without your wise/smart remarks and quotes! If you didnt notice, someone created a thread "wheres sirScrap" when you went on your internet strike. We all missed ya man! LOL

Gettin off the rails here. Let me redeem myself.

Welcome to the forum from sunny Florida. Maybe you could produce some awsome scrapping videos for us. We love scrapping videos from South Dakota.

**Sirscrapalot** · 04-10-2014, 08:14 PM

Life without humor is like the Dakota's filled with people. Just not right.

An yes I noticed..like 2 weeks later when catching up. lol.

Welcome for the third time! Make sure you dip into Patriot's cooler, he's always bragging about it's full.
