    Bah, The bad weather finally hit. Guess I work on wire for awhile.

    Friday night we got a heavy snow storm. About 6 inches. Guess the items will be fewer here for awhile. Good thing I have all my wire to work on. Just takes to long...I should take the hit and get the Blue wire stripper off Ebay. I have 2 jobs lined up for some appliance removals but that won't happen until the people decide to proceed with their plans so I have to wait it out a bit.

    Same here. I've saved up some wire, smaller engines, and other miscellaneous things to tear apart, but nowhere near enough to last me the winter. I was caught completely off guard by the snow. I had some piles of stuff outside that I meant to take to the junkyard, but I guess they aren't going anywhere until spring

    Hop on a plane, fly to somewhere warm. Rent a truck, and scrap some metal to pay for your stay
