[AT] Long time no see

[Cecil R Bearden]

Welcome back Al and good luck on the shop..  I was talking to an old 
contractor friend here in OK yesterday.   He traded me a bull calf for 
one of my heifers.  He was telling me that we might as well hold on to 
our scrap machinery.  The scrap yards were only paying $3.00 / ton for 
good cast iron scrap.    That won't pay for the fuel to haul it....
