... got three out today, and got a fourth loaded on the trailer...
down to 8 in the yard... I may register the Jetta, so I don't have to park it in the garage, and put the Stealth in there...

I got the trailer loaded car out today, but had family gathering in the evening, so had to quit early... it was raining a bit anyway...
still... it's moving quickly...
lovely progress I think.

Keep on going John - the year of the dragon is not with us yet and though there seem to be great changes going on where you are.

I took my full pickup truck of aluminum sheet/screen/gutters etc, and a barrel of copper etc, and a 12' trailer of steel scrap to the recycle yard today, and also took a pickup load of monitors/printers and a trailer load of garbage to the recycling/dump place.
then promptly filled the trailer back up with junk. gotta see if there is any more junk in the yard, then make another run with it, and get more cars moved...

it's getting close, if it would JUST STOP RAINING!!!

What is C.E. Class? And????? What is the final count on cars still on your property? Is the poundage of metal reimbursing you for your time and effort? I hope so!!!!

Hope the rest goes well and easily for you.
