Extra extra, read all about it! My posting, dated August 01, 2010 and titled 'Scrap Metal Recycling, Trip #4 - The End', was incorrect! As it turns out it wasn't the end. It wasn't the last trip after all, no sir!
After spending the last month or so sorting, tossing, donating and organizing I realized that there was much more scrap metal to be dealt with, so I made another trip to the recycle yard yesterday. Of course this isn't the last it, nope. There are more metal items that will eventually need to be dealt with, however, my dad wasn't ready to part with them for some reason. Some of the items - a four drawer file cabinet that has sat in a wet basement and with a couple drawers that do not stay latched shut, a couple desks, a couple lovely rusted lawn chairs and a gas grill that has been used like twice in the last five years, alas...
Now before you read the next couple of lines I would like you to say the following out loud, "You might be a redneck if you have the following items in your shed", #1 - a 5-gallon bucket full of rusty railroad spikes and #2 - a 2' piece of railroad track and #3 (although not metal, it's fits the redneck persona) a copier paper box FULL of wine bottle corks. Good Lord!
The total weight of this scrap metal load was 700 LBS!
Which brings the new grand total weight for all five trips to: 3840 LBS!
