    First trip experience (can't complain)

    Finally made my first trip to the scrap yard today. I only brought a bucket with #2 copper wire to feel the place out, look around a little at their setup. (Thought it was #1, found out because it's stranded it's 2. Bummer.) Still got a huge shred pile and other non ferr I need to bring at a later date.

    Anyway, it was a cool experience, nice dudes there. However, I felt like I might have been shorted on my weight. Lesson learned on my part, should have weighed before I went in. I've seen a few bad experiences with scale tampering on this forum.

    Overall, cash in my hand for recycling free material. Got to gas up and grab some lunch for the fam. Good deal. I'm hooked.
