Unloading? One - at - a - time, James, one - at - a - time. What am I talking about? You posted this hours ago. You probably already have it all unloaded by now. Overachiever...
7000 lbs! That's almost as heavy as my truck. Great price, too! Bet your truck hates you now. The trailer don't look none too happy, either.

Anybody would be motivated with these motivational posts.
Stopped to get Kentucky Fried chicken just before arriving to load this stuff. Got food poisoning, bad case. Forgot how painful that is.
We loaded some by hand and in a hot fab building. 3 hour drive back and over loaded. Passed out when back home.
Still feel like death.

James challenged unloading, help. James, you laugh in the face of adversity!!!!! Maybe this is you " not laughing" in the face of food poisoning? I had it really bad once in Asia and wow I now especially appreciate modern American toilets. The painted foot prints around a hole don't always work out well. Hope you get feeling better soon. It might be worth a phone call to the food joint so they can fix the problem? |

James, sorry to hear that you are having a "sh!tty" day. Food poisoning is the pits, I always worry if I get fast food somewhere I'm not familiar with. Maybe people in AL have cast iron stomachs? Either that, or the workers at that KFC saw your GA plates, and fixed you some special stuff.
Hope the unloading gnomes come and unload everything for you, and that you are feeling better soon! (I can't believe you took the time to post that pic in the first place, while feeling poorly. It really could've waited, ya know?)

Lots of fun ahead! Show us some finished products when you have them. Snuffer/table tops for the pits Pat. Too easy. Must be 'seasoned', left outside to rust till they are color coordinated.  |

Talk about draining your last bit of energy. Long day today too. Am in crash mode. Should be a diet method, food is not high on the list right now. Don't wish nausea on anyone. |

Just typing in all the numbers would make my head hurt. You are to be congratulated for typing this when you are sick. I copied and pasted it Pat. This morning feeling much better, yeah, finally. I told that fellow at not to be so precision and waste time making that list up. I told him we will pile that stuff on the trailer till it would not hold any more. He must have spent 4 hours making that inventory list. The value was over $10,000 at normal price. It appears he generates that much scrap every 6 months. So I hope to get this on a regular basis. I pick up scrap or have it shipped from several manufacturing operations on a constant basis, including the fire pit bowls themselves. Sanford and Son |
