    Slow day at the shop

    We were having a slow day at the shop today, so we gathered up a bunch of scrap metal, empty 5 gallon pails. We loaded them on my truck and took it to the local recycler. Had 900 pounds and got $83.50. Pretty good haul. Guys will have coffee and donuts for a couple weeks.:) Martin
