Now the question is: If you hit it.. Would you ever scrap again?
I remember the last time it was high like this about 6 months ago. I thought of all the neat stuff I could do to my trailer (It needed a lot then).. then realized. I'd never have to pull another car in my lifetime! :-)
Yes, only I would have my driver put it in the Rolls for me:cool:
That's a hard answer. Love my job but I know this I could pay someone to get in the creeks to get out them boilers instead of me. Oh to not have to wade in freezing water. What a life that would be. :)
I would do this only as a hobby. Being able spend time with the kids, priceless. Best of luck to all. Oh and help keep the world a cleaner place
I went to a gas station for some beer, The 4 people in front of me bought tickets. I did see that Jump too! 475 when I got breakfast this morning. Think I'd be done scrappin for a few years :)
id never stop scrapin...even on my road trip across the country i was picking juice jugs and cans out of the garbage at the rest stop because it blew me away people did that in provinces that have a deposit on almost everything. plastic pop bottle blowing across the parking lot .... 5 cents...Quote:

End euthanasia due to dog overpopulation in Texas through a fully free statewide spay/neuter program, coupled with legislation making it prohibitively expensive to register an intact animal, along with one-strike confiscation of unregistered animals.
Then I'd travel the world and get involved with a microfinance project along the lines of The Small Enterprise Foundation.
When I found the place I want to spend the rest of my life (the boonies east of Quito Ecuador is winning that race at this point in time) I'll set up my fiefdom & buy the local law enforcement along with my own personal security team & then spend my days reading, learning, & just generally not giving a bleep about anything.
I'd put my current scrap set-up up for auction here on this forum, with proceeds to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
I grabbed some tickets. If I won that, my new address would be some ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet, somewhere in the world. Any given ship at any given time. I will spend lots of time on every one of them.
I'd continue to scrap. I do it cause it pays well, but also because I ENJOY it.
Saying all that..I'd promptly buy me a house, a good truck and car, and go on vacation for 6 months till everyone forgot I won.
Then I'd send each and every one of you a magnet and your own traveling cooler filled with your beverage of choice. :cool:

I'm very proud of what I've created with Burly Guys Junk Removal. With virtually unlimited funds I would do what is necessary to franchise the business. Not for the money but to leave a legacy.
Oh, and I'd buy all the Lionel trains. ;-)
As long as it was not Carnival Cruise Ships, lolQuote:
