I am not one to sell scrap. For what little I have I just give it away or put it in the trash.
Was gona make a run to the parish dump today when I noticed most of what I needed to take was old metal. Rotted out 55 gal drums used for burning; old dryer; couple of old bikes my son in law picked up for parts; ect. About filled up my 6.5 foot pickup bed.

They could of kept the $14.30 I got if I could have bypassed the scale; parking; showing my drivers license; giving a fingerprint; and signing a form that said I really owned the stuff.
Dang crack heads must be having a hard time making ends meet with scrap prices as low as they are.

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
