all right we got a special mobile Metal Monday on a Friday Brett’s been so upset about the Super Bowl this is the first days came to work so I was like that polar bear that that came out of hibernation was shaking off like trying to shake the cobwebs you know I think there are a lot of people like that on Monday you know it’s hard not to drink a couple adult beverages during the yeah it gets tough you know honestly I didn’t I I only drank lacroy during the Super Bowl I was telling somebody I was sick right so I was like I it didn’t even sound good as much as I was like looking forward to I mean I did eat some couple nachos with the kids but dude I was I was a hurting unit on Sunday so lroy it was for me I didn’t even get a drink Co light man no Co light on the Super Bowl you know and Chiefs won it was like it was fitting right like yeah like getting kicked in the nuts twice and your wife was decked out in Chief skare and my

wife was wearing Chief scare I think she just rubbing in my face you know like one of my funnest Sunday moments when I s her story like dang Lindy like went hard into the paint you know like no discretion about no no she’s like I don’t give a about you I like that that’s how me and my wife you know I was going for the Chiefs and she was very upset with me because she hates the Chiefs probably as much as you and and anyway anyway so we’ve had an interesting week Market wise copper Thursday Friday we’ve seen seen a rebound we’re back in the mid 380s and it feels good to be back there because it felt real wobbly for couple dude I what did I say to you yesterday I say if we get to the mid 380s like I’m gonna sell that load of um chops right and or at least price it like I’ve already had already shipped it I got a couple more to ship but and so this morning I got up and it was like 383 384 and I was like d done I’m like I ran

out of patience I was like I’ll take that price cons All Things Considered where it was going right so well we’ve done we’ve gone the other Way’s yeah you’ve gone the other way where you maybe think it’s gonna run to four if you wait till Monday or Tuesday and then then well I just every time we do metal Monday on a Monday we get kicked in the nuts so I was like I know how this game goes so I mean I’m hopeful I mean hey don’t get me wrong I got more more loads to price but so if it does go up hey I guess that’s called hedging at the end of the day but yeah now I’ll take I’ll take you know that 384 and be like all right done deal I like it we’ll call that a win anything else you seeing out in the market this week you know not a lot man I mean this feris Market in March could be interesting you know we don’t really have any hard hard data yet but you can see some people maybe start waffling um I don’t know what everybody else’s flows

look like I know ours at least picked up a little bit um with the sun kind of staying out for a little bit and they’re not being snow on the ground that being said the flow is still just okay um but I don’t know I’m I am curious to see what this Market brings in March I doesn’t feel like a wave of momentum is headed our way that’s for sure yeah I feel like we had you know know we had some winter weather it got really slow and we got some spring weather little early and we definitely saw some better flows it felt really busy we’ve seen a lot busier but I am curious the rest of the country what the flow is like so if anyone’s listening to this we I’d like to hear I’d like to hear what kind of flow you’re getting at your yard and what part of part of the country you’re from my gut says it’s still slow I get I’m getting hit up pretty regularly you know material which means you know it’s not that I’m some good-looking guy or I’ve got you know I think

it’s people are it’s a little dry out there you know I think it’s it’s still a little bit challenging on the the scrap flow front especially on the consumer side um or your big dealer side right guys that I might sell scrap too or on the export side I feel like those guys are trying to keep stuff moving i’ I’ve talked to a couple that have been like yeah it’s pretty slow for us as well so you know we’ll see I’m curious how the iy event went on consumers night and hear what those guys have to say there that would have been a it would have been some probably some good some good information I’m sure people somebody out there that went there let us know what the the sentiment is that’d be awesome yeah keep us in the loop none of none of our team made it to that thing so you know we’ll see where things are going and um you know hopefully we see some non ferish pricing continue to go up and it nice to be at least see some sideways pricing into march on feris but we’ll see what
