There's a lot of information here this morning. From what I understand, garbage at the curbside is abandoned property, police often use that tenent to extract evidence from crime scenes or suspects. I leave scrap metal on the curbside with the expectation that someone will stop and get it. Last fall I cleaned out my garage and two sheds, I had around 600 pounds of old rims, rotors, steel cabinet,lawnmower and snowmobile engines etc..it was gone in a couple of hours...it did me a favour and gave some scrapper a few bucks for hauling it away. It was not worth my time or fuel to load it up and take it into the city to a recycler...on the other hand a bin at a business that has scrap metal is a different story, that business likely has a contract with a recycler to recieve so much a ton for the scrap picked up, in return the recycler provides a bin and pick up so going there is a no no! I would ask if I saw something in a dumpster at a business..sitting on the curb for pick up, I might just grab it..it was put out to be taken away. We are on a Blue Box programme here and people used to go through blue boxes at night and pick out the aluminum cans, we have depostit on whiskey wine and spirit bottles, garbage pickers used to take any that were put out in the blue box. The Recyclers got real upset that their profit margin was shrinking because these valuable commodities were being pilfered out of the blue boxes. I believe that now the local police will stop you if they see you going through blue boxes..don't know if they charge you, likely warn you and run you off. If its in a blue box I wouldn't touch it, if its a pile of refuse and I saw something I wanted I may grab it..but that sure doesn't happen very much.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
