It's a bit of a different situation here. I've got about an acre of lawn to mow so i really need a riding lawn tractor for that job. We might go through seven cord of softwood firewood over the...
It's a little different for me. I worked with them in the trades for decades ... you see ? I learned early on as an apprentice ... that you can't do the job if you don't have the tool.
To give...
Me .... i've got a busy weekend ahead at work. It's spring weather here. The days are sunny and it's energized everyone to start spring cleaning. We moved over 26 tons of trash. 3 tons of recycling,...
I try to be choosy about what i bring home as well. My greatest weakness is tools. I was in the trades for over 30 years so they have a special meaning for me. The thing is that i'm to an age now...
Well .... what you might try to understand is that it's not all about you.
You asked about the hazard of the job. I explained that it's a people problem that is best to avoid.
Someone once...
Love what you are doing and you will never work a day in your life. :)
The hazard of the job is the temptation to bring things home. It's a gradual process but over time your property becomes a junkyard. I've seen this happen soooo many times.
I've got a friend of...
I'm a student of human nature as well. I go out there in the everyday world and work with all different kinds of people while i'm serving my community. You learn a lot that way. The pickers down on...
I'm just being straight up with you CD. NinjaGal came in asking for advise on how to do a demo job. You weren't being very helpful.
Funny story: I was down to the parts store yesterday and i ran...
I see what you are saying in that regard. I can also see your point about them being a people who you are not supposed to talk about or criticize. I run afoul of it every so often even though i bear...
Okay ... so you are saying it's a conspiracy between Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny to blind everyone to the truth and take over the world ?
It was a joke CD.
I was playfully poking fun at you.
They turn them into sex toys ?
Again ... awfully vague & mysterious talk there hoss. Magical thinking ?
If someone is sitting there as king of the world .... it's terribly hard to imagine that anything some commoner has to say...
I dunno CD. You're pretty vague. People sometimes do that when they're posturing. I've seen it more with people who would like to be a religious or cult leader. You know ... play the old mysterious &...
The last time around i recommended that people " recession proof " their jobs. You want to look to put yourself into a job that is necessary even during the bad times. People have to eat so being a...
I tend to be pretty practical minded about things. Turn & burn. Bang the job out and get to the next thing.
Red box .... it's just an obsolete vending machine. Run it to the scrap yard whole and...
You covered a lot of territory in your first post CD. As nearly as i can tell ... we are in the earlier stage of what they call an inflationary recession. I've known this has been coming for a few...
You might like these guys CD. Ran across then a number of years back. They're pretty good.

Nice haul. That's the fun of scrapping for me. You just never know. Some days are a bust. Every once in awhile ... you hit the motherlode and it's game on. :winner:
Nice score ! Dumb question but does the silver plate go as brass or do they have a different category for that ?
There is a lot happening on the global level. Gold set a record high of $ 2364.00/oz on Tuesday. The link below provides pretty good information on some of the different forces in play.

Still rattling on about fakes CD ? ;)
I was just playing around awhile back and experimented with depopulating the boards. Had an old 4" planer / jointer that wasn't being used anymore and tinkered with planing the back side of the...
It's amazing how resourceful people can be. Some folks don't have much but they make the most of what they do have to work with.
