This morning I took the cut-up remains of our old farm fence to Western Metals Recycling on the way to work. We are talking 60 pounds of old metal wire fence and some barbwire. I got to drive onto a scale, watch a huge grapple machine move stuff around, and in the end . . . got paid $3.50 for our scrap metal. The money wasn't much, but it was a cool way to get rid of some junk metal. I'm highly recommend a trip to the metal recycling yard.

You make it sound like we might actually be putting a backyard in - dare I hope?
That actually sounds really cool! I bet you wish you had some neices and nephews around, because they would have thought that was a super cool field trip.
Driving onto a scale??? Is this how you weigh in for the contest?
