    Lurker for a while, part time/pass time scrapper

    Hey all! I've been lurking for some time and find a lot of the info here quite enlightening and sometimes funny. One quick thought I'd like to mention to others, when using a sledge on an old rusty electric transformer, don't do it while drinking, wearing shorts, on top of a steel slab and hitting the back corner....otherwise that 5LB puppy will shoot like a cannonball into your leg and ricochet into the other and cause nerve damage for about 4 months. Just a thought. Seriously though, I hope to learn from the oldies and maybe put my 2 cents in from time to time to help my fellow scrap mongers. Peace!

    Honestly, i said nothing when it happened. Matter of fact, it took me a couple minutes to make it to my tailgate because i couldn't move. All the while thinking, what would Tim Taylor say right now? Oh yeah, the wife was near by, so it's kinda hard to pull off being smart now.
