    I used to do salvage in the mid 80's and learned how to 'wheel and deal' with all sorts of stuff from various industries, from military, medical, and marine, to commercial electrical & transformers, boilers to printing presses, and much more. I compiled a database of buyers and brokers. Some in CA, the rest scattered around the USA. I also went to about 12 - 20 trade shows of many diverse industries almost every year for near 30 years, so I have connections all over the planet, as well! Now that I live near these guys (just down the 15 a bit), I'm willing to help them in some way.

I can't wait for this Winter's "SNOWED IN" series.. I hope they're off to the 'cabin' at Beaver Creek again this year.. with the Rip-Saw. What a fabulous machine! I wonder which guests they'll host? I hope HeavyD invites Jax (Wild Wild West channel) and his beautiful family, as well as Brent (Ghost Town Living).. They've both done some really great collaborations with HeavyD this year, so it'd be fun to see them all playing in the snow.

My whole interaction with him was great he never made me feel like I was a annoying person who ran up to him just to say what’s up he talked to me like he knew me. Thanks for showing love Dave!

      When I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done. So there i am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece and who walks in but Dave.
      I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him, as he read a magazine and waited, but didn't know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want her to bother Dave, but she wouldn't stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Dave put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.

      Start eating brazil nuts and you'll lose the oxygen pretty quickly unless their treatments really messed up your lungs.
      I also had it three times between Dec 19 and Feb 2021 (also almost dying once or perhaps an almost aneurysm on the third time also counts as 2 - pardon any typo in that) but Jesus gave me the nuts as a remedy for the clots that affect the breathing. Fennel water also helps for the smaller ones that result from the larger ones being broken up and I haven't had to go into hospital once.
      Even when I was breathing at about 10-20% of what I'd normally be able to breathe it took about 11hrs (including 5hrs sleep) to clear it back to 80-90%. That was 5hrs munching as I was driving and 6hrs sleeping while eating 200g of brazil nuts for my 180lbs.
      Don't blame the docs, just be happy that The Lord has kept you until now so that you could see this. Nowadays I try and keep both on standby but I haven't experienced anything since early May and a recent test has shown me to be completely clear now.

    Amazing. One man's treasure is another man's profit. Years ago, some friends and I moved a 60ies White single axle tractor out of the backyard of a woman's house in Phoenix. It had been there for years. It belonged to her husband. He passed away and never got to restore it.. We didn't have heavy equipment nor the room to use it but we did use cables, snatch blocks and winches to move it. I sat in the cab and steered it out of the yard and threw an alley to the street where it was loaded onto a lowboy. It was an all day project and a great memory. This video made me think of it. Thanks.

    You deal with enough "it ran when we parked it" equipment that it may be worth it to make a power unit trailer that can run long lines to the equipment letting you bypass the engine/pump on the equipment to have full functions. Weld a temporary hitch onto the equipment and simply drive it to the recovery trailer. Can even cheat some more by using solid pipe rather then hose for the majority of the distance with hoses on ether side to give it some flex and just have a boom arm to support it.

      It probably just needed fuel system cleaning and would have run the next 50 years ... but well, gone now.

    I make about a grand a week (Give or take) just from taking scrap people don't want to the junkyard. Literally one man's trash is another man's treasure.

      Pretty common thing in Hungary, some people make a living from collecting scrap metal, batteries, etc. Seen a guy do it with a hand cart, although I think that's a simple form of marketing 🤔

      @David Wang Not sure where he said he was talking gross. Or maybe you're his accountant, on here talking shit? Seems like a pretty strange business model for an accountant, but you do you buddy.

      @David Wang just come to Indonesia, with 4 grand a month you can rent a room for less than 100 USD per month, and you can eat three times a day for 300 USD per month. :D
