    First Post...I'm With Mike(Mechanic688)

    Hello all, I've been tooling around this forum for quite a while. My name Is Phil and am the other half of P&M Recycling with Mike(Mechanic688), I'm his son-in-law...basically. I think there is quite a bit of great information on the forum, and would like to thank every one for contributing this said info. I have been working on computers since high school and have been pack ratting all of my broken/parts PC chassis. So we decided to start this recycling business to make a few bucks on the side, but I have a feeling its going to become more of a full-time gig.
    I'm not new to the scrapping scene though, being that my father and I scrapped a lot just to get by during some rough times. Once again I was back into the scrapping business after I met Mike's Daughter and was put to work "cleaning up", if that's what you can call it, the farm property. Oh what a great mosquito infested place with crap everywhere and too many things to do at one time...I don't think I could live without going a million miles an hour in four directions...Then on top of that we are doing this e-scrap business and we keep bringing more stuff in, but this is what we live for right? The thrill of breaking crap into little tiny pieces, I save the greater majority of my aggression for the stubborn plastic that won't come off of the aluminum antenna. Of course I'm the type of person that won't work a regular job because I hate stupid people and I'm a terrible morning person. haha
    I know, That is kind of a long winded first post. Anyways, HI!

    Hi, Phil. Good to hear from someone who hates "regular jobs" and does something about it instead of just plugging along.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    It's not soo much the people for me, I used to be in lumber sales and loved about 73% of it lol. It just the amount of stupid people you have to deal with on a daily basis . Glad we are on the same page though haha.

    Thanks everyone for the reply's!7

    It's always the other 27% that makes the job 95% miserable.
