    sloooooow week !

    slowest week I've had in 6 months. no calls, nothing. well there were 2 calls last weekend one about 30 towers and another with a bunch of e scrap, both I have surmised were just newbs here trying to pick my brain. a month ago I was it. now there are at least five I know of. Computer scrap is quickly becoming the Catolityc converter of today.

    ill get on the phone hot and heavy tomarrow. got to go in next week for an anurism operation may be layed up for 6 weeks , but on the other hand knowing me it will be more like 2 .

    if I bust the staples I can get out the trusty hog ring pliers

    waiting on him to decide which of his children he wants to send to the scrap pile next. I probably only have 1/4 of what he has. hes having a hard time wrapping his mind around his $10,000 30 year old servers only being worth $400 his share.

    Good luck with the operation, olddude. And if you do bust them staples, well look on the bright side. You can always scrap em!

    Olddude, it sounds like you need to do someting different to stay ahead of the competition. Perhaps use the time aftersurgery to look into social media marketing.

    Well, it definitely helps and a lot of people do it for fun anyways. Facebook groups and fan pages go a long way if you're great at making connections.
