    Talking Word of mouth paid off for me today from surprising source!

    I mean, this is exactly how you get started right? The unlikely source was ......my son!! He must have talked up my re-cycling and one of his friends dad whom I've never met is giving me a load of computers and monitors! WOOT!!!! Now hopefully more word of mouth well get around and I will get more calls!! I'm also going to be meeting with that golf course owner I mentioned a while back and hopefully we will be able to make a deal! I have two trucks now to work with and an extra helper and its real close to my dads place so if I need any tractor/tractor attachments the golf course might not have I can just run down the road and get what I need. I'm really hoping things work out with that one because it would be a great start to a ''resume'' so to speak to go a little bigger than I have been. I'm not looking to go as big as easy-recycle (just an example) lol but a little bigger than garages and backyards. I'm ready for this and I feel confident in myself now knowing enough to be able to move forward.
