    Another Joisey scrapper...almost

    Hi all. I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and just joined the other night. I know being a new guy here I shouldn't complain, but I found a major flaw in this site. There is no single button to thank all of the posters at once! Seriously, thank you to all that post here. I have gained a wealth of information from y'all (I'm in south Jersey) and hope someday to be able to pay that forward. Chris Brown

    Today is a gift and the first day of the rest of your life. What will you do with it?

    Welcome aboard.

    The "thank you" system is a mod for the vbulletin software, and unfortunately there is no setting to enable it. The mod was created as a way for readers to be able to say "thanks" to someone for their post, without making a post just for saying "thanks"

    Welcome to the forum and best of luck with scraping. You are getting a good start by reading as much as you can here on the forum, Mike.

    Thanks for the welcome! I'm hanging back and just trying to soak in as much info as possible. I have been very blessed in attaining a good refinery job, yet I fear those days are numbered due to changing times and finished product being brought into our country cheaper than we can refine it here. I am looking more long term in setting up a recycling business that I would be able to eventually rely on as my sole income. Plus i have family and friends that are struggling to make ends meet after losing their "good" jobs and see a potential way to keep all of them working. I need to go back and see who was saying this in the forum, but they had posed the question: "Do you own a business or do you own a job?" What a simple yet profound question! If the poster is reading this, thank you.

    Lived in East Brunswick, TP exit 9. Was in the Air Force at Mcguire, retired and moved to North Carolina. Way to expensive to live in jersey, but the scrap gods were always in my favor there, here not so much.
