    9-3-13 Load and prices,South East Arkansas.

    Well i didnt get my usual early start,which turned out to be a good thing,yard been closed for three days. Guys said they were busy all morning. got their around noon, no waiting at the scales. Did get slowed down unloading everything else, mostly cause people leave there rides in the unload area to go get there cash. sat for ten minutes finally the yard guy asked this old chick to move her ride. price on shred still $8.50 had 1000lbs, #2 copper $2.30,chopper wire .40 cents,aluminum .42, radiators $1.15 had 76 lb that helped the bottom line. compressors .12 had 184 lb,and the cleaning electric knifes payed off 171 lb at .20. Brass still $1.60 all told got $310.95 So we left the yard took the wife to the pizza buffet,then the hardware store, gotta put up a digital antenna tomorrow. I judge it a pretty blessed day.
