    Lol, I feel ya CH and I'm in the hole $40.00 yet again this week paying out for the other end of scrapping on Monday night o my kids. I pay them for driving around on their end and meeting us in the middle and half the time in this weather/time of year I'm lucky to break even BUT I like it gives them an income stream and I don't lose out on any scrap on that end. I haven't paid out any more than that since I'm stock piling but they know that and understand the situation.



    I don't mind losing out when it helps my kids and its keeping us in the game. Sooner or later things will pick up.

    now, on MY end I don't have as much pocket money as I used to since I haven't turned in with prices so low so I'm the one hurting the most.
