well i worked in a truck wreaking yard for 11 years. (heavy trucks ) during that time i have been diagnosed with arthrites, bad vertbra in my low back , burned out my ear drum with fire from a torch so it had to be replaced , got countless amounts of stuff taken out of my eye, ben pinned between two truck rearends swinging from a loader hit my head so hard i threw up, been run down by a cabover ford rubbbish packer an threw out my shoulder . i left that job because it was for sale well i think it is sold there cleaning every thing out . i worked that yard for 11 years 9 of it myself. never had a fight with my boss and allways got a raise when i asked. went down there to look around today ( still have my keys ) an i would do it again .not much left but it broke my heart to know it was allmost gone. I meet some of the nicest people an some real mean people found my first pw from that place. the ole yards are going away . im 37 years old an feel 55-60. but it was home it felt like my yard its a sad day for me guys. sorry to ramble but the wife dosent understand. thanks for listening guys i had to share that with some one. i have cut up alot of Macks, brockways, chevys, gmc cracker boxes, fords ,Kw, peterbuilts, internationals ,marmons, oshkosh, FWD, freightliners, even an old REO speedwagon , still have the hood emblem from that ole girl. well thats enough sorry again my friends but i needed to vent off some sadness .no I have never cut a pw.
