Just got back from my local yard this morning, was surprised to see the place almost devoid of scrap metal.

Talked to the one guy I know who works there, he was saying peddlars aren't coming in much anymore and they aren't roaming the streets anymore for a few scraps of copper etc because the expense far outstrips the gains they get.

It's the guys like me who do this full time as a business that are coming in that's it. :o
 

More reason for me to get a trailer...
I've been seeing more and more scrap untaken...
I just can't take much of it as of yet...driving a car...
I need a trailer.

Gas doesn't effect my driving habits though...I just spend more money at the pumps.
