Joe,

My cousin in Arkansas told me about a man and his wife that bought an old farm back there and moved onto it. It had two or three old barns and a lot of junk. Ruchie said every month he would make a trip to Florida for a week or so and after 2 years he sold the farm. He said he asked him why they had sold out so fast and the guy told him the trips to Florida he was hauling junk he had dug out of the old barns and field and selling to to people down there as antique equipment. He had made enough they were going to retire to Hawaii. So what is junk can be worth a lot to another person. I remember as a kid the old milk cans we sued on the farms. I found one on this place here when I was cleaning it up and was going to throw it away and some guy saw it and offered me $100 for it. I told him it was his and to feel free to look through the rest of the junk I had piled up to haul away. I would up getting all of the brush and trees cut and cleared and all of the old car bodies and parts hauled away free for giving some of the people parts they wanted to restore old cars with.
