    Scrapping has mercy

    Scrapping has mercy , you know it does .

    I need $300 minimum Monday for my checking account ,
    don't get me wrong I have plenty of inventory
    but I still don't want to just sell off as a fire sale .
    As I release material to the yard
    I want to take in same or close in % ,
    thats a feeling of success - sell $50 of copper
    find $50 of metals even if it's not all copper .

    I investigated for curiosity a pawn shop that would lend me $300 using my silver as collateral
    2 week loan interest of $100 plus the $300 = $400 and 50 ounces collateral . That offer was sobering
    $100 interest na not for me .

    So off to the races I went and I'm at the Negative $170 for the mark for Monday . My trip to the
    yard this morning was a nice fast $50 second run a sanfoo the yard closed early ?? and I could see the mix pile is like nonexistent .
    and there closed .I'm saying darn $10 gas & truck has product crap!!
    today now is a loss .I don't have room in truck to find much on the way back
    but none the less I hit dumpsters
    & I keep finding just what I need a vacuum - Copper wire around 7# and Aluminum I figure around 40 #
    30 # mix

    So wile I wish my truck could of been emptied on my second run. I give thanks to the scrap God for the nice metals on my way home ,
    it really cheered me up .
