Scrapping

We have been removing old steam pipes from the space consistently for the last 3 months. In order to scrap the steel we must chop the pipes into sections that will fit into the bed of the scrapper's truck. We had some long lengths waiting in the basement and one hold-out pipe hiding between two joists right in the middle of the shop. The last of 2 tons of dead pipes was chopped out of our space last night. Angel's flat-bed trike has taken center stage in the shop. The other day he rode to Harlem on his chromoly steel load hauler and retrieved his Mover trike from where it was chained under a tarp for about a year. He then rode the mover trike strapped to his trike from Harlem to Maspeth, across the 59th street bridge, where he spent the night. The next day he rode from Maspeth to the shop with the trike on his trike. It was kind of like when you see a tow truck towing another tow truck. It was a real head-turner.
