Well, the scrap run certainly was interesting. Mike, Steve (Friday), and I drove to Western to confirm whether or not they were actually closed on Saturdays. Turns out they are normally open (or so the sign says) and just happened to be closed, likely for Easter. While we sat in the parking lot formulating a plan, two teens in a Super Duty pulled in with a very minimal load of metal only to load up a washer and dryer someone had apparently dumped in the parking lot out of

e. As Mike, Steve and I prepared to crossroad Bronco parts and scrap metal (those terms were likely interchangeable today), someone informed us that another recycler further north was open; but only for 30 more minutes. In Good Samaritan style we loaded up a homeless woman's bike and trailer onto my trailer and she hopped in Mike's truck, so she could make it in time before they closed. The washer/dryer kids lined up behind us and we made a quick convoy north to the land of twisted metal.
In all we managed to pull in $204 between the 180lbs in my truck and 1800 in Mike's.
