More info

I believe the guy is retired. A relative of his owns a scrap yard. And he gets big bucks for the pieces that he sells. My understanding is that he's having a pretty good retirement. Oh, and he is also located next to a salvage business

Wow!

That gives me some GREAT ideas, all the old scrap parts I have and can get!
Uh Oh, wife is rolling her eyes, she said "Like you need another hobby"
The more hobbies I have, the less I bother her.
I think I won an arguement, that's a first.
