    While the desire to help a "poor old lady" is commendable, she isn't living alone and without family to help her.

    "There was once a sawmill on the site, and one of the steel sawmill conveyors has been converted into a hay elevator by her son Robert, who lives with her and inherited his father's knack for welding and mechanical work."

    "Some people say Robert's being lazy not getting a job and staying here with me," Thompson says. "He feels he's being a better person by staying with me and helping me out on the farm. And personally, I feel there's more to life than a 9-to-5 job."

    And she doesn't sound like someone who isn't aware of her surroundings...

    "Despite her fondness for some of the more interesting old vehicles, even Thompson admits that a lot of the scrap on her property just needs to go. But, she says, she's 70, and taking care of 170 acres and a small herd of cows is problem enough for her."

    "I don't like a lot of this crap," she says, pointing to where huge old steel logging cables are embedded in the ground. "That stuff's bad for the cows. But what are you going to do? The county has decided I need some help, so I guess that's that."



    It sounds like there might be more to the story than we've heard so far. It would be interesting to hear more about Robert, her son.....

    i'm sure there is more to it but it is beside the point. if someone does'nt STEP UP all those cars will be lost FOREVER. it is better to do SOMETHING than to do NOTHING. what can it hurt to try??

    Pacific County or wherever this is happening must be pretty laid back. You mean to tell me the county has nothing better to do with there money than to pay Mr. Mcgruff the crime dog Hazen to go around & snoop around peoples private property, Then Tell people what to do with thier private property because HE dosen't like it. THEN try to downright F**K the people out of there property with these fines. Where the F**K do these clowns come up with these figures for the fines? Pull them out of a F**kin' Happy Meal box??

    It seems that old lady isn't the only one this clown is trying to railroad either. He's harassing the alot of property owners on that road.

    "Mercury switches OOOO-OOO fluids OOOO-OOO we're all gonna die because there are old cars in the middle of nowhere" Give me a F**kin' break. The people who say this sh*t & the people who eat it all up are ASSHOLES.

    I'm pissed.

    Bull! This is just the government wanting to have a hand up your butt so they can feel when you poop......so they can tax it!

    Believe me, if the government REALLY cared about the environment, there would be a lot of changes; 1 politicians does more damage in a year than this ole' hard working American will do in a lifetime!

    Screw the government!

    I'd like to have this guy's email........

    Dear, Mr. Government,

    We really appreciate you wiping our butts for us. Please, monitor our sex life so you can tax and regulate that too. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly....

    EDIt: $170k a day....what the! Let's just slap her with big fines that she can't pay. That way the tax payers can support her in a nursing home some day...

    No, but what I'm saying is that people need to know where they are so they dont drink groundwater that could possibly be contaminated. This post is about illegal unregistered junkyards right? Legal junkyards are put in placees where thay have no effect on the populus . I'm just saying that with responsible managment of theese places we can have our cake and eat it too. I agree that this Hazen guy is an asshole, he is looking to persecute this old lady, when what would be best is a compramise. Who knows, the junkyard could very well be in an ecologically benign spot.

    As for large manufacturing plants, you cant discuss them anymore without getting political, and i'm not going to break HAMB rules. Lets just say its due to capitalism's ugly side.

    By the way, I'm NOT an enviromentalist, I'm just concerned for the working class that can't afford to have a baby with birth defects, or a breadwinner with cancer.

    That being said it can be certain that the gorvernment will never approach anything reasonably, so its really a shitty situuation for everyone.

    Reading a for shit deal like this is not a good way to start the day:eek: .I'm thinkin' maybe I'm havin' a bad dream at first. RATS,Just finished my first cup a Joe,No Such Luck:eek: :eek: .

    I think they should leave the old gal and her boy be.

    Having been on the recieving end of this shit before(on a smaller much smaller scale)I can empathize completely.:mad:

    They're prolly bein' paid by the local scrap yard or salvage operator who knows most folks will throw up their hands and let someone come and get their stuff for nuthin' or pennies on the dollar just to get the ,:rolleyes: (and I use this term loosley)"powers that be" off their backs.


    :mad: Shoot all them sneaky assed ,sneak peakin', sneak theivin',trouble makin',circle jerkin',county road agent queers in the knee caps and let GOD sort 'em out!!!

    That would send a message that couldn't be ignored,T.OUT

    The BTK murderer was a code enforcement "officer" in Kansas, I think most people in this "profession" enjoy torturing the helpless. In houston they are called "nieborhood protection officers", I call them Yard Natzies.

    Here are some local number for a couple of car clubs in Grays Harbor.

    Midnight Cruizers - Grays Harbor, Brent Knott 206.249.5884

    Push Rods of Hoquiam - Red Brenner 206.533.2808

    I've met Red Brenner years back at a local show, maybe one of these guys can take a run out there, I can't believe they haven't been out to this ol gals place, its not like Hoquiam/Aberdeen/Gray Harbor is that big, shit everybody knows everybody.

    I'm trying to find a guy named Reems a local to Grays Harbor, I think he'd be all over this, opinionated and motivated, he had a flamed 40 ford that got me interested in rods back in the 80's.]

  14. You know, it SUCKS when people get harassed about their "junk"... but man, I'm with Mutt on this one.

    The old lady is WORRIED about being taken advantage of... she wants to make MONEY on those old cars... despite the impending DOOM of the County Tree-Hugger... something's fishy. Then, you got her jobless, lazy-ass son...

    Man, this could make a great feature film!

    One of my cousins was "encouraged" by the DNR to clean up 25 cars in his grove. When he asked how they could possibly have seen the cars, which were not visible from any road, they told him that they use airplanes to find "polluters"!

  17. If someone up there (a HAMBer) could contact her and see if she would be willing to do a "$50 for all you pull off and fit in your pickup bed, $100 for a complete car" open house weekend... how many HAMBer's would go?

    I'm sure the "historical documentation" she has would be worth something also.

    Unless she insists that what she has rusting in her yard is "worth big bucks to a collector"... Then it will all be crushed and made into Kias, when they take he house and land from her in payment for the fines.

    Somebody go by Bob Hazen's house and see what he has going on that's not up to "code". I'd speculate that those that throw the rocks, live in some pretty fragile glass houses themselves.

    Heck, I need some parts for my '46 Chev. pickup. Looks like she's got a couple there.

    If someone goes to scope this out I'd be interested in some back fenders, if they're not all rotted out.

    If someone goes out there please post some pics.

    The only place I’ve found mercury switches in a car was in the under hood and trunk lights. I'd be surprised to find one in the whole pile of cars based on what I could see from the photos.

  26. More LEFTest propaganda. The article they are refering to is the NEWER cars that they took truck machinical switches out of and repalced them with merc ones.

    They didnt start doing that until the mid 80s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In this state if its OLD its BAD

    Sounds just typical to me.

    High and mighty doing what they do best.

    PISSING us all off.

    Not nice and probably not a lot we can do.

    Sad and annoyed Roland
     
  28. Oh man this really pisses me off. I had a similar situtation with an HOA Nazi asshole. After getting 3 letters in 2 weeks about not having my landscape done (it was completed the week I moved in) I called his office and the chickenshit would not answer, but I left him a message saying if I got another letter I would take his ass to court for harrasment. My wife also called and emailed him. He profusely appologized and started picking on the neighbors for a postal jeep in her backyard. If I ever see this bastard, I will stick my foot so far up his ass, he will talk with a leather tongue.

    Let's buy her land and deal with the bastard our way and then sell it back.
