So what did YOU do today?
Saffy:
booked day vacation off from work.
Had blood test.
Decided to clear some of the scrap from garden and sheds. So loaded up the Sankey trailer and spent an hour looking for my driving licence to use as photo ID. Finally go to metal scrap merchant in town. Bare in mind I haven't done this before.
Put the defender and trailer on weigh bridge and it came up as 3600kg, dumped the load where the guy said, weighed truck again and it's 370kg lighter, went into office and got £35.00.
Does that sound too low a price? I didn't ask current price of ferrous but looking elsewhere on internet I was expecting more like £50.00- £70.00? thoughts?
Anyway - got all hot and sweaty and garden and shed still look no different I have still got a 110 rolling chassis and tub sitting there - just that it's mostly empty now and theres also gearbox, tranny and engines laying around.
I then wished I just gone to work after blood test because while moving defender around after unhitching trailer I caught front tyre on a scrap engine and tore off the tyre valve. So I quickly wanted to turn truck around and park back on drive way behind gates before tyre went completely flat. I then reversed and knocked down a neighbours 10 inch square fence post - totally sheared it at base! took a couple of fence panels with it too. Joy. That 35 quid isn't going to go very far!

Gotta love days like that. Scrap price is about pop on.

Today I have mostly been doing a brake service on the Massey 550. Big numb heavy pig.

Put the weed sprayer away for the last time this year today. Yay hardly does the event justice!
