I just got told $80 locally. Grrr something stinks

Clean steel is $400 per ton in Toronto, about $300 in US. Autocast is more.

@Dub11 cardboard box plant?

Print shop. I work on what is call a "Holographic web press" it embosses an image in to metallic film amd glues it to paper or board.
Also at work I guess we're to cheap now to get the dumpster changed out 2 days early.

CV shafts are the same side to side, fyi.
4 inches with I'm assuming front shock spacers never ends well on suspension components.
Even the 2" spacers are hell on them.

I didn't analyze the CV lengths myself, the mechanic told me, I guess he was wrong. One control arm is different than the other. I had to do the upper left ball joint today which comes installed in the new control arm. Not that the truck handled so bad before, but its unexplainably better now, no knocking or flock of doves noise. Cost me 920 (almost 700 US). Worry-free next trip to Muskoka, although I wouldnt have noticed a problem except for the noise. Got peace of mind now

Somebody's making money and its not you! They should be paying well, prices are really good, haven't been like this since 08 before the bank tank in 08. What doesn't make sense is that the prices are high with less global demand. 2008 demand was based on artificial growth via the hedge funds and bad loans, as well as China's building boom. What gives now? Although the prices compare to back then, our dollar is worth half as much in Toronto anyway, (one bedroom apt. rent is 1500 US, downtown and lakefront condos are more, 3 bedroom homes 3000 sq. ft.are 600K US).
Take note that oil prices are low and gas is way up ($4 per gallon here, we're always more expensive than the US even though we have oil). Not the same circumstances in 08 but metal prices rose in the fall instead of spring, now even higher as it is spring. Is a collapse coming? Copper has been excellent, apparently its supposed to get better because copper hampers Covid proliferation. No, I'm not afraid of Covid, heart disease and cancer kills way more.

Ive had the same thoughts and also here is a home sellers market. I thought we'd be seeing foreclosures with so many out of work.

Got mercury lines with red/no lettering? Get rid of it. Ethanol or no, it will go bad. Kicker lines are replaces, will have main motor lines here this week. Got to be ready for vacation in two weeks. May just sleep in the boat. LOL

Our winter was way too mild, I think our pup will attract ticks like a magnet.
I'll have to bathe her more frequent with flea/tick shampoo, she tolerates the baths better than the smelling flea/tick collars.
