    Down sizing my life.

    Well truth eventually, comes into every ones life, (no sympathy please, I truly did it my Way) At 71 Having broken my Back twice my neck once and a total of 54 other bones, being stabbed twice and shot twice and being told at 30 I would never walk again I have come to the realization I'm no longer 25.

    I'm down to being able to do only 5/6 servers a day down from 20 plus a couple of years back. I'm down to doing 2 boxes of HDs( 156) from a record high of 546.

    My Mobil home is over 50 and, falling apart, last week 2 shorts in the elect woke me up to the fact I need to rewire or retire it. (turn it into a storage space.) Wife and kids live here in a 5 year old double wide.

    No one in the family wants to take over the bis. they would rather invent an app or a E game () soooo I went out today and bought a 28 ft camper. I was very reluctant at first. When I saw it, it turned out to be the perfect choice for me.



    A couple of years ago I came up with the Idea of an association of professional electronic scrappers, for the purpose of research and the stabilization of prices, shipping, methods etc. After much time and a few $ invested I also realize I am no longer able to dedicate the time and $ to do it right. If I can't do it right I won't do it. I am truly sorry for that.

    I am not going to give up. I'm just going to down size as I have said.

    I will continue on the forum and contribute what little I can, and, yes I will still slap the noobs hand when found attempting to slip a cookie from the cookie jar.

    I just want to say before I forget. I consider all 20,000+ of you my very close friends (some closer then others .

    I will post photos of my new "house" later.
