Getting busy in USA - 22/04/08

22/04/08 : I did this :

• received the representative of the local metal recycling plant for a looksee over my scrap metal; he promised to return to me with an estimation for what he would pay me to take it away. My feeling, however, is that I will handle the scrap myself. If I separate the aluminium from the steel then I will receive much better prices for both types of metal.
• my daily driver 1983 Ford F150 keeps getting hot, and water is being dumped out of the radiator overflow. I bought a new thermostat and gasket and removed the old one. I discovered that the old thermostat had been fitted the wrong way around - no wonder the truck kept getting hot; problem fixed.
• ‘phoned the seller of the F750 and offered $2,500; he countered with $2,600; deal !
• went running and jumping in the evening
