95YR OLD HOARDER

So this is a young gentleman i met about 4 years ago and bought a 40 el extreme basket motor from. he is quite the internesting dude. there is literally oil drums filled with matching cased knuckle and pan motors. i had to go there many times just to recieve a few little parts. i will never forget the times i have spent 9 or ten hours in his junkyard sweating and rumaging all his treasures. there is six cargo trailers filled and he even converted his house into more storage and moved into a trailer outside.the whole place is a booby trap and the windy path around the property is a single footpack with walls of trash and stuff on either side of you. i think he said he hasnt thrown away a piece of trash since 1969....

it is way to hard to actually try to take a picture of this place by heres my best
