I will tell you a little story about what I have been doing for over forty years > Where ever I am out and about and see “stuff” old engines washing machines you name it I pick it up > I would strip everything down connectors fittings ect > I salvaged and boxed the stuff . Now my nbrs used to torment the devil out of me for being hinny or cheap for throwing this stuff in my truck and carting it home > They said a total waste of time > One day super nbr shows up on Sunday and needs a fitting he has been all over town “no luck’ . > Now comes pay back time ok I have many and with a little looking I find 5 or 6 > Felt good to do that > Another nbr needed to borrow some money > he already had a loan to me due in 6 months but that was a way away > I told him I didn’t have a thousand on me BUT if he was ambitious > My salvage pile of stripped out scrap was getting to big and the family hated me wondering over there > I said get a trailer and some help you can have the scrap 1500 he got salvage pays ~ Copey
