donnie is stupid. You forgot that.






No we didn't, he reminds with each and every post..:)






Funny stuff...the two dumbest dumb ****s in rec.boats, Slammer and

Ingerfool, commenting on someone else's intelligence.


Not to mention the laziest...neither have done a lick of honest work in years.

You've caught the Snottie/Dickson stupidity virus.

Oh really? It's you who is stuck with that boat, not me.

This is hysterical. The last boat Ingerfool *built* rotted out so badly
even the raccoons and squirrels who were living in it moved to a better
neighborhood. And the paint job looked as if the guy who slopped in on
was halfway through his second 24-pack of ****y Miller Lite.

And FlaJim? A veritable fount of no knowledge, a rabble rouser in
rec.boats who doesn't even own a boat. I wouldn't trust his ability to
wash out a fiberglass rowboat with soap, a bucket, water, and a sponge.

Keep on keepin' on, fellas.

His boat was made from recycled beer cans.

No, his problem is telling the truth:) I built many of my "Scrappies" of
standard building materials. I built them with the knowledge that they
would rot in about 10 years, just like the Brockways. And like the
Brockways, at 450 dollars for my hull, I pay about 45 dollars a year for
a boat, and build another in ten years... I am gonna' imagine don is
paying a bit more per year for his boat seeing as he has had it for
maybe two years and it's rotting already?? snerk.

Seems my recycled boat lasted longer than his tin can and he is only
trying to deflect from being ripped of on the one thing he feels gives
him cred here at rec.boats:)

Your "crappy scrappy" rotted out from under you, so badly the raccoons
wouldn't even live in it. And, of course, you are now boatless, just
like your buttbuddy, FlaJim.

Hows about you come to the aid of your asswipe when he contemplates a
large purchase. He doesn't seem to have the savvy to sift through the
sales pitches and lies.
Hmmm. You suspect FLAJIM is boatless because he doesn't talk about it on
rec.boats? Ponder that, Asshat.

My county gives us two bins for our recycling, one for paper and the

We do all in one here but I think they just pull out the metal and
burn the rest in the waste to energy.

My understanding is that they have some sort of automated

etc.

They must have. All our paper, glass, plastic and cans go in the same bin, picked up by the same

My wife asked them about glass, plastic and metal seperation and they
said they didn't care. When she asked they had pallet after pallet of
seperated material awaiting someone to come and pick up what they
wanted. They couldn't sell it because nobody wanted it.

The one thing she did learn was that the recycling centers hate the lids
of cans because they can affect the machinery.


They gripe the most here about plastic bags. They are certainly
recyclable but they gum up the sorting machine. If you shoved them
down inside a plastic bottle it would not be a problem.


Here we are told to place in the recycle bin only plastic with the number 1 or 2 in the little
triangle. Plastic bags have no triangle , so don't go in the bin. Most grocery stores have recycle
bins for plastic bags.

Personally I think we should separate the metal from the stuff that
burns and throw glass in the trash (here).
That is where it ends up anyway.

Giving the metal to a scrapper is probably more efficient and cheaper.
I do if it is anything but aluminum cans that the waste company has a
market for.
In a lot of places recycling is worse for the environment than simply
throwing it away.
How can it possibly make sense to truck paper and plastic 1000-1500
miles to recycle it with diesel going for $4 a gallon?
They just make a show of trucking some away to make the greenies feel
good. I am glad they burn most of it here to make electricity.



Ahh...a discussion about trash. *Perfect* for the new rec.boats.

recyclable but they gum up the sorting machine. If you shoved them
down inside a plastic bottle it would not be a problem.

Here we are told to place in the recycle bin only plastic with the number 1 or 2 in the little
triangle. Plastic bags have no triangle , so don't go in the bin. Most grocery stores have recycle
bins for plastic bags.


The fact is sorting at curbside is a waste of time... it's all put
together before it's all sorted again:)


Personally I think we should separate the metal from the stuff that
burns and throw glass in the trash (here).
That is where it ends up anyway.

Giving the metal to a scrapper is probably more efficient and cheaper.
I do if it is anything but aluminum cans that the waste company has a
market for.
In a lot of places recycling is worse for the environment than simply
throwing it away.
How can it possibly make sense to truck paper and plastic 1000-1500
miles to recycle it with diesel going for $4 a gallon?
They just make a show of trucking some away to make the greenies feel
good. I am glad they burn most of it here to make electricity.


Here they ask us to clean out the food before throwing in the bin. Ever wonder how much water it
takes to clean out a peanut butter jar?

You got something against recycling? ;-)

My county gives us two bins for our recycling, one for paper and the
other for bottles, cans and jugs.

We do all in one here but I think they just pull out the metal and
burn the rest in the waste to energy.

My wife asked them about glass, plastic and metal seperation and they
said they didn't care. When she asked they had pallet after pallet of
seperated material awaiting someone to come and pick up what they
wanted. They couldn't sell it because nobody wanted it.

The one thing she did learn was that the recycling centers hate the lids
of cans because they can affect the machinery.

recyclable but they gum up the sorting machine. If you shoved them
down inside a plastic bottle it would not be a problem.

My mom lived in Seattle. That place provided little different colored bins for all the different
materials. God help you if you put out more trash than what would fit in your bin. You paid through
the nose.

Get a pet raccoon, like we had when I was a young teen. Our raccoons
loved peanut butter and would work assiduously to get every bit of it
out of the Skippy jar.

Here the regular trash man takes anything you can drag out to the
curb. I disposed of all of the materials from a couple of big remodels
right there. You only have to organize it in bundles 50lb or less
(OSHA rule)
I had 15 white buckets full of tile and concrete one time. They got
even with me and took the buckets. Next time it was in plastic bags.

We used to have a special pick up for white goods but these days the
scrappers will have them before morning.
They will tag a big TV or other stuff the scrappers don't take and
pick it up later.

The only special bin we have is the recycle and that is one of those
65 gallon wheeled Totems that they pick up with a claw from the truck.

If you consistently have more than would fit in one, you can get a
another one.

We also have a horticulture pickup once a week. The 50 pound rule
applies there too but no limit of the number of bundles.
We had 22 out there last week.


They pick up our 'horticulture' stuff weekly also. No limit to the number of bags that I know of.
I've had 25-30 bags of leaves out there at a time, they get 'em all. If I have a large amount of
heavy stuff I can call for a special pickup...get two free ones a year. They send out a truck with a
clamshell and pick it up.

No complaints about the trash service, but they wait too long to start the streetside leaf
vacuuming. By the time of the first pickup, about 3/4's of the leaves have already been raked up,
bagged, and put out with the regular trash.

You've been talking about a boat you aren't going to build.


And Krausebag, you've been talking about a Yale degree you don't have, eh?

Stuff grows like crazy here.
We end up with a lot more than just bags of leaves. I get in trouble
now and then that my bundles may be over 50 pounds each.

When they are in a good mood, they will just take small stacks of
loose sticks, other times they demand that they are bagged or baled.
There doesn't seem to be any pattern.
I did make up one of those double can deals (a 30 gal can with the
bottom cut out in a regular can) so you can sleeve the bags and jam
the stuff in.
Using drum liners you can get them pretty full ;-)
Usually after a couple of weeks of 49.999 pounds bags and bales, they
want the loose piles again.


We can put grass clippings in the trash, leaves have to be bagged or
left at the side of the road for the town to pick up. I don't have a lot
of problem with that as I know they do actually have about a 20 acre
area in town where they put them in maintained piles and make mulch.
Town folks have access all year you can bring your own leaves if you
miss the trucks or the leaves fall late, or you can go get mulch too...
Just have to get the key from the office.
