    Give it a bit of time.. Everyone still has Christmas Crusties in their eyes still.. nothing in business is flowing right now.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Cold today, 3F and windy when I took a little alum and smaller Cu tubing in today. Glad the nf guy has a drive through operation.

    Alum got classed as "painted" and 30 cents a pound, tubing was # 2 Cu @ $1.25 a pound. The new norm I guess...
