    Newbie from N.Y.

    Hi everyone. My name is Bob and I'm from Clifton Park, New York. Ive been reading all of the info on here but I finally joined recently. A little info on myself. Im 48 years old and have been in the automotive repair business in the management end all my life. 5 years ago, I was standing under a big garage door saying goodbye to a customer when 1 of the big metal panels fell from 12 feet up in the air and came down on my head. I suffered a tramatic brain injury which changed my life. I was out of work for 3 years. When the symptoms started to improve, I was giving my daughter and grandson to a friends house when someone failed to stop at a stop sign and t-boned us. Thankfully they were ok but my head went through the window and I suffered another TBI.I started scrapping a little during my recovery. I now am working on scrapping approximately 15-18 hours a day. I constantly am reading and watching videos on scrapping and always trying to learn because the scrapping has turned into my main job and provides food for my family. I really want to do this fulltime. I am happy to network with anyone. Any tips and info would be appreciated because I am still a rookie!!
