all the towns out here have what we call "junk" days in the spring. over the last couple days we have gone to one town and have had 6 trailers full not to mention the bed of the truck. all in all...
.45 here in Iowa, we do get robbed here in the Midwest.
I know how that is, it seems like each spring there are hundreds more on my gravel road which isn't traveled that much.
I don't know what to tell ya. Where I live there are piles like this being buried all the time with worse stuff than just auto batteries. In the country it is just easier and less time consuming to...

My garden is right next to my pen as well. My chickens dont seem to bother my plants but my geese and ducks do. The geese eat parts of the plants or stomp all over them and the ducks like to dig...
I looked up the pump I found and it is an Oberdorfer pump made in NY. Solid bronze!
Efersept, congrates on joining. I am fairly new to the site as well and this forum has really helped me with starting my own business. I have learned more on this site than I have searching all over...
I find giant pieces of iron along the banks of the creeks I fish. That the point of my tale.
That is an awesome truck, how come this didn't happen earlier? Mini semis, a real head turner.
