[Today’s run: 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n
I arose early this morning and loaded up my transformer-stripped copper, transformer steel,\u00a0 and the steel hulk of the old UPS and took it all to the scrap yard.<\/p>\n
The copper will yield over $100 and the steel was another $20+.\u00a0 I also picked up a check for last week’s copper delivery.\u00a0 So. the garage has produced $200 in scrap metal in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n
I need to get back out and sweep and arrange a bit, reclaiming the floor space.<\/p>\n
The scrap yard was in full operation today.\u00a0 They have an area for drive-up\/drop off, anything that is unusual.\u00a0 Then they have the big scrap yard.\u00a0 The yard has a number of big long-armed crane things with either grabbers or magnetic fittings and they are always lifting stuff up and putting it down in other piles.\u00a0 When I dropped the old hulk of the UPS out of the back of my truck, I turned the truck around and a magnet guy had already picked it up and moved it.\u00a0 There were piles of engines and parts of motorcycles and just all sorts of stuff.<\/p>\n
I also saw people bringing in cars on flatbed trucks and trailers today.\u00a0 So now I know I can take the engine-less old truck in there when I’m done with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
