    Hello from California.

    Hello everyone. I just found this forum and decided to join. I don't want to make some long introduction so I'll try to keep it short.
    I scrap for a hobby as well as to keep money in the saving account. I first started 13 years ago just to help me pay bills but now it's become fun. My full time job is a truck driver for a "trash" company so I end up at a lot of places with stuff just laying around...to tempting not to ask. I live and work on the "central coast" of Cali.



    I guess that's about it. Thanks for reading this.
    Have a nice day.

    Hello from Tennessee.

    I really need to stop reading these forums. I looked up Santa Maria, CA on Google maps, then realized I once drove up to San Louis Obispo from southern CA, so I must have taken Hwy 1 right through the area. Then I start daydreaming about a nice long road trip.....now I won't get any work done for at least 2 hours.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan

    Yea man, there is some really great driving around these parts. Hwy 1 is a great drive, beaches and forest side by side.
