Springtime Scrapyarding in Fontana

[WillWagner]

OK. A few pics of some of the stuff I brought home. Anyone got a good pic of the item in pic 2097 in use? I also have a few things stashed for a future trip to gather items for an upcomming event to try a secondary income since we went on Workshare starting today. In essence, I got layed off, but only for a day, then one day a week...we are on two week pay periods..and the State SHOULD make up50% of the lost wages. God, I hope so. Guess it is better than a real lay off! Some of the other items stashed include all sorts of shackles, trailer cords, some hardware, inert stuff, fired stuff, gauges, some NOS harnesses trhat I STILL didn't get the NSN's from to see what they are for, maybe some MGPTS tents, cots, pioneer tool kits, too much to list. Maybe Thursday I'll go back...that's my unpaid day off

Sounds like your getting too old for this

Man, the kids say I look like a cherry! I can't believe how torched I got. That's OK, just a good base!

After getting a few too many " good base's " I keep some of that Edgar Winter Super ****** SPF 45 in the door of my truck

it was a good trip----good to meet new steel soldiers and browse the yard---it was 9.30 pm by the time we got back to phoenix---long day

Will,
I would be interested in knowing what that triangular piece is for in pic # 5. I forgot to ask you that when you were gathering them.
Any chance you could go next Thursday (the14th)?. I could meet you there or even pick you up on my way out with the trailer (so there would be extra room) to get my sandblast cabinet. We could make another day of it.

Ground anchors

I was thinking they were ground anchors of some kind, but the ones for the 5 ton wrecker look like this (attached)

Hi,

I will be in Riverside next week, attending my daughter's graduation ceremony from UC Riverside.

I'd like to have a look through the yard while I have a chance. I bought a deuce truck and have started seeing green.

Would someone please provide info on how I can call to make an appointment with the proprietor of the scrap yard? If it's a secret, I promise not to tell.

Thanks,

Rick

I'm in a USAF Comm Unit...we use those anchors for SATCOM and Micro Wave equipment (heavy wind) tie downs.

rchalmers3, PM me for info. 48cj2a, thanks for the info on the pieces in question.
