Warning lawyer jokes unrelated to recovery will not be tolerated on this thread. Did you know how copper wire was invented? Two lawyers were fighting over a penny.
 
My Bad, :oops:

Should read,

A big city lawyer went duck hunting. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a Gold refiners Fume Hood

As the lawyer climbed over the fence, the Gold refiner drove up and asked the lawyer what he was doing.

Ahhhh, I just read through 19 pages of posts! First of all, as an attorney, I'm offended that there weren't any lawyer jokes, FOR GOODNESS SAKE EVEN THE CANADIANS GOT ONE! I'm sure all of you will try harder in the future! Second, great job on a helluva thread!

What is the Three Kick Rule?", found on Web, Field & Stream! :)


A big city lawyer went duck hunting. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence.

As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked the lawyer what he was doing.

The lawyer responded, "I shot a duck and it fell into this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."

The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and your not coming over here."

The indignant lawyer replied. "I'm one of the best trial lawyers around, and if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything that you own.

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things in these parts. We settle small disagreements like this, with the Three Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the Three Kick Rule?"

The farmer replied, "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth until someone gives up."

The lawyer quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.

The old farmer slowly gets down from the tractor and walked up to the city fella. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin, which dropped him to his knees.

His second kick nearly ripped the nose off his face.

The lawyer was flat on his belly, when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly causing him to give up, but didn't.

The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, now it's my turn."

The old farmer smiled and said,

"Naw, I give up, You can keep the duck!"

Hmm, this happened to me a couple of times. . .
 
Not to side track the jokes, but I wanted to share the fact that I reached out to joem as well for permission to use his advertisements in regards to e-scrap collection.

He was very helpful and very quick!

Joe - you are very much a class act and I thank you very much!! I tried my hand at the same sort of thing briefly and it turned out sad and pathetic... Your work is worth putting in front of a client :)
 
joem also did my logo and was great to work with. (I should have said this sooner. :oops: ) He listened and had all my changes done and had some good ideas too.

Thanks Joe.

The only problem I had was making him send me his address to send him some money for his work. :lol:
 
A new ewaste collector has moved into the neighborhood I just moved from. He called me to buy towers from him. I got 38 towers, 10 servers, 5 pounds of ram for $200. I paid a little higher for a load like this just because he is a new supplier. I will train him on my tower pay scale. He also bought a copy of my gold recovery guide.

Congrats on the new source Joe!

I drool every time I see a pile of computers just waiting to be dismantled to show what goodies they hold lol.

My source just got in 28 servers I may decide to refurb and sell them if they are decent as they will bring in more cash as a working unit.

Either way I'll have fun looking inside them!!!
 
Well after a transmission failure, electrical problems which burned the battery and starter, the black beast has been retired ( read sold for scrap value).
It's has served me well and was a work horse. It has hauled enough scrap metal and ewaste to buy me a newer van last fall.
Let's bow our heads as it get's crushed and remade into other metal things that I will recycle as well.
Oh yeah and I sold the tow truck driver a guide as well.

Was the Black beast a caravan? I had one I used for scrap and when it died it had 275,000 miles on it. I didn't put that much on it it came from Alaska.

Now it might be in one of your next vans. :lol:

Oh yeah the cat is mine and the battery too. It was a kia sedona 04. The thing is was a tank. I barely washed it in the 4 years ( i did not care it was a scrapper van mostly) I had it and there was only a bit of surface rust.
 
Here is a quarter of the stuff I picked up today at 4pm and sold some to a laptop repair guide for $250 cash. You just have to keep asking and they will contact you.

Update: After Feb 20th and all sorted, and sold off the total profit on this lot is $832.90

Wish I had a work place like you Joe. This is my current haul, bigger than I normally get. The pics were taken while I was sitting at my desk. The picture with the buckets is where I put screws and small metal pieces and a bucket with copper wire. Oh there is a litter bucket there with parts ready to go into HCl to remove solder and then to deplate, it's sitting on top of the AP set up you sent me. The milk crates is where I separate out the different boards.

Thanks Joe, I'm slowly working my way through the pile. Problem I have is my son pinched 3 of my milk crates and once I get stuff torn down as far as it will go I can't get rid of it. My truck and trailer are buried under snow and garbage :) I don't know who told everyone to toss the extra garbage in the trailer but I could skin them. Now I have to take it all to the landfill before I can take any scrap out. Sheesh kids, can't live with 'em and can't live without 'em.

Rusty

PS do you still have a copy of your original website?
 
Ok thanks Joe. Still working out kinks need to re-do my flyers and business cards to add information. I'm going to be in Vegas in May for a week and while I'm there my partner and his fiance' are going to put flyers up.
