    Cool Hi, half Chinese half Swedish native Californian.

    Hello from sunny Sacramento. I am 38 yr old male : a novice scrapper/soon to be metal detectorist/ground looker/observer/closet stoner dad(get to that later.). . oh and I dumpster dived once so far (ceiling fan!). I feel bad throwing away ferrite. I love unwinding the ol' copper & screw driver spindle. my hands hurt. Watch out for beryllium. Yes there are buyers for lithium ion batteries. I have learned a lot in these few months from you guys. I really appreciate this experience. It excites me and calms me at the same time. Now to the stoner part... Where I live there is this beautiful man made lake with really nice parks..(where i guess stoners like to congregate.) I take my healthy walk every a.m. around it and collect the fallen left overs. I then sneak back into the garage, stuff my pipe, french press some caffeine and break things. It has truly humbled my life. Thanks!

    No one on this forum cares about race , we all only see green . I think it's sad in the list of titles you put on yourself "dad" was listed last . Says a lot about a man or man child ?

    :D

    Race is special to me being I am probably one of a kind...? I try the hardest to stick to my child like roots even though at the same time I cannot wait to experience my 40's & 50's. It's more complex than you may think at first glance. I have a five year old son that loves the kid in me.
    p.s. I use only manual tools.

    IDK if this is the place to talk about being a stoner. Don't get me wrong, i smoked my share and then some...IN HIGH SCHOOL.
    Maybe share your scrapping stories here, and your pot smoking adventures by the lake on the pot smoking forum.
