40 Bucks for some old metal

Today I headed over to Bisch's - our local Army-Navy store and metal recycle center. I pulled a trailer full of old scrap metal that has been piling up in the hangar for a while now.

Amazing process - that great big green electro-magnet just hovers over the trailer and "swwooop" a bunch of the metal is levitated up. It's huge and scary looking....note that the photo I snapped is from inside the truck....I didn't venture out.

Funny - is your truck not magnetic?

Love,

hey t - well - i wondered about that too - but they just hover the big magnet a few feet above the bed and the "stuff" gets sucked up into the air. pretty cool, actually. fun stuff - and good for the environment! love, k
