Join River and I as we learn to become scrappers in our tiny, beautiful, northern town. The trouble is that the nearest scrapyard is over an hour away so we are going to have to learn how to best process all of our scrap. We don't like waste, especially if it's trailer space when we inevitably have to drive to a bigger city to sell our metallic fruits.
We will also be taking trips to the share shed at the dump to see what we can salvage from there. There are often broken appliances that house copper, aluminium and brass, as well as lots of ewaste in the electronics bin.
Wish us luck!

Brother I listened to every word you said just thinking about how it seemed you were explaining my life to me… I thank you so much for this CoppeR doughnut I needed to hear this I think as much as you needed to say this! Much Love I’m always here Brother! God Bless
It doesn't hurt to look into it. Check out a book called taking charge of adult adhd or adhd 2.0 and you'll be able to tell if it feels like the stuff you're going through. If you want them, I can email you the ebooks for free. chrisbird72@gmail.com is my email.
Same here! Tough to get motivated but when you focus on something (scrapping) it's all in and takes over 😂 Us 'bad kids' such a problem. You've done ok, so who cares right 👍👍
For sure, and I wouldn't trade my life for anyone's, but I do wish I had figured this out 10 years ago. Then I would still have been married and maybe wouldn't have let the shed get so out of control. Lol
Thank you for sharing! Chris, a lot of what you were saying, especially about school and such, reminded me of myself. I don’t know if you need to hear this, but you weren’t ever a bad kid. Man I was told that so many times. Proud of you my friend.
I think I was a bad kid, but people didn't understand it then. I am just happy to know why I was a bad kid. The thing I am happy about is that I wasn't a really mean kid, just naughty. I also grew up in a village that was full of caring people that really liked me and always tried to help. Maybe they didn't know how, but it is so excellent to think back and see that they tried. Did you get a chance to have a look at the books I sent you? I was just wondering if they resonated with you. I imagine they will. Thanks for being here to talk to. It always helps.
@@wannabescrapper72 that’s awesome Chris. I did and yes they did resonate a little bit with me. I just need to make an appointment to talk with my doctor. One reason I’m dragging my feet if I’m going to be honest, my doctor of 7 years just moved away and there’s a brand new doctor. I’m sure they’ll be great but after building a great relationship with my doctor for 7 years, I’m hesitant to open up, but I will. I feel the same way 😁
In a lot of ways, I think a new perspective can be a benefit. I know it's new territory, but I feel like a clean slate can be a good way to start fresh.
You just described my life story!! Been thinking about getting an assessment/diagnosis, but just haven't because I feel like I am "working fine". Please keep me informed on how your medication is working. That might make me more inclined to talk to my doctor!! Thank you for sharing that! 👍👊
I think it's the reason a lot of people end up scrapping. It's something different all the time. I am going to put a channel in discord to share information and books I get from the psychiatrist. If you are interested in finding out more, you can hit me up there at any time, Roger. I think you'll see things differently after reading some of that stuff.
You're the reason I even know anything right now. I shudder to think about what, or if, I would be right now. I love you and thank you for always being my rock. Oh, and my roll. T SWIZZ FOR PRESIDENT!
Brother I'm in the same boat as you but I don't care what people say I have fun with it and I don't think I've seen you this depressed since I subbed you hang in there brother I still love you and respect that you are getting it done thanks for sharing this with us six stars brother
I really don't feel overly depressed, my friend, but I do feel a bit anxious about what's to come. I guess I expected a sudden miracle or something. Thanks for always being here and supporting me, Joe. I really appreciate it.
Well we still love ya. I find myself saying i have alittle OCD. Things have to be a certain way. Go forward and thanks for sharing your scatter brainess with us. Your good bud.
Thanks, Mike. Yeah, luckily, I don't have ocd because I would probably off myself as soon as I woke up. I can see that you definitely have a great organisational structure, so that would make sense. At least it gave you that.
I have ADHD very But the medication doesn't help me, I take the medication and it puts me into sleep mode, so I get absolutely nothing done.Throughout the day I try to set my mind to something I need to accomplish and still yet I can't focus on just one thing at a time. It really sucks but that's just how we're built. Live life by the day and try to focus a little harder on things.. You know my struggles, it causes me to get depressed and lash out on people that have absolutely nothing to do with what I am going through. I need organization in my life but I'm not certain if it'll ever get there lol !! Thank you for the copper donut ! Enjoyed the subject!
Yes, it definitely can affect everyone in a different way. I was surprised to find out how many different ways it can come out. I'm taking the lowest dose of concerta, so I think he's going to up the dose this week when we talk. Probably just wants to make sure my old ticker can handle it. I hope you can get a handle on it. They have several different meds and coping mechanisms out there. I have read a couple books on it an it's getting better every year.
Yeah man it really sucks. My body just can't handle the benzos. I'll get it under control soon. Now that Dody is back she'll help keep my mind more focused !!
Yeah, even just to find out what is going on. I'll send you some ebooks in discord that my psychiatrist gave me. I just got the audio books for them but they say the same thing.
The doc says it is hereditary, so that's likely. I may not look like it, but I do feel way better just knowing what has been happening with me. I'm glad your daughter got diagnosed earlier and can learn strategies and mechanisms to help deal with it.
Well, she's no longer with us. I hated watching her struggle, i hated medicating her when i had her on the weekends. She would hardly ever laugh and didn't seem happy when she took the medication.it's painful thing to look back on now
Well I hope that your medication helps you that your taking buddy! There’s kids in my family that have it that takes medicine for that as well to calm them down
Soooo much stuff! Personally i don't touch fridges/freezers anymore, too difficult to get rid of in the UK. Motors are nice though. Stop reading comments and get scrapping 😂👍
You're gonna have to step it up a bit, this lousy old video content is just about the most ,i don't know, maybe like ,you know ,sorta,kinda,uh, really somewhat...well, there you go, a comment on an old video!😂
Yes sir I get old sheet for the aluminum radiator but if I have a lot then they are a different price although I don't know what it is never had a nuff to make a difference 😂 excellent video six stars brother
