    That's a drag there's not a display that you can see, I hope you trust your yard enough to be honest. You should try and figure what you have sometimes to keep them honest.

    Gueroinchicago I like the way you think!

    Oh sure 0.8 lbs don't seem like much but ........@

    Say copper is paying $3.30 a lb.
    Each trip you give away 0.8 lbs
    That comes out to $2.64 each time

    Now say you go to the yard two times a week ......

    Well should I do the math or...........?
