    Nice run Copperhead. Its always interesting how some prices are similar, such as your Al, whereas your steel and EMs are crazy nice compared to ours. It sounds like that place in hungry for steel so great location for you. For some reason, electric motors around here are nasty low (2 cents a pound), 2 years ago they were 15 cents. I guess I tear apart more of them for at least some of the Cu.

    11 years ago I was thinking about moving to this area , since I was strong into the painting business I asked questions about the area and employment
    One counter guy said , good Jobs are hard to come by , To get my job I have 4 years collage in business just to be here !
    He said " This area is not the Goose that laid the golden egg"
    I think for scrap it might be
