Here's a pic of my brother Dan and I building what is now Scrap Yard's Main Office!!!. . . .

Not surprisingly, it was built from scraps of old wood and some pretty bent nails he scrounged from nearby building site's dumpsters!!!!

That's Dumpster Dan on the far left pounding a nail through my hand (I'm second from the left, standing behind the office gritting my teeth from the pain!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> . . . . Good times. . . .Good times. . . . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That reminds me. . . . I owe him big time!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan is less than 2 years older than me but was 6 foot tall by the 3rd grade!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> I'm 6 years old in this pic and Dan is only 8 yrs old!!!!. . . Easy to see why his nick name on the college track team, where he was a shot putter and Hammer thrower was "Dan the Hammer"!!!. . . . He was a one man wrecking crew!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

In college he never met a bottle of Rebel Yell he didn't drink!. . . That is until he was banned from entering 42 of the 50 United States!!!! Then his name was changed to "Dan the Hammered" . . . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. . .

I think the "office" might need some expansion...........being that Dan is in Texas, I am free and volunteer my services <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />!

Will he at least have his own phone line in this new office?

It figures that Dan was the older brother, as he is the one with the hammer and a smile on HIS face! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> A phone line to the office - great idea ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

LOL..:)

Come on! I need a year to go with that picture!

It was the summer of 1965!!! . . . . . . Man I'm gettin' old!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Now kid, settle down. You're not getting old, just wiser and more experienced! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And a little older... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Wow, looking through old threads can make a person more wise! I am glad I read this piece of Bussekin history.

Thanks for pulling this one up. Great pic.
