Never got around to filling out a little bit about myself on here, soooo here goes..
My name's Derek. I live in New Hampshire and I own a pizza restaraunt with my lovely fiance in Lewiston, Maine called "Greco's Pizzeria" (check us out on Facebook). I also, at present, work in Mass. at a defense contractor (witholding the name, sorry). I work on optical assemblies for satellites (both civil and defense programs).
I'm a HUGE fan of music. My father played in bands all my life (mostly Top 40's, 50's and 60's bands). I pretty much grew up in singles bars, weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc. Having a father who was a musician helped me to grow up to be a very musically well-rounded person.
I've been an active member from early on, but I often don't have the time to really pursue anything related to precious metals recovery/refining. (Although if I had my druthers, that's what I would really prefer to be doing) Since I don't have a whole lot of time on my hands, I'm not around terribly often, but I do pop in occasionally and read the boards. The information on here is so much more interesting than reading the news or a book.. I've just always been a really curious person, hungry for knowledge. I'm not sure if I'll ever put much of it to use other than the occasional batch of fingers or sterling flatware or what-have-you, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
I think a good part of why I really sort of just "dabble" is because I don't have the luck or the time to find sources of scrap cheap. I've bought materials through the typical online sources, knowing full well that I was losing money, simply to put into use some of the information I've learned here.. a little practice for the fun of it, but as far as doing this to make any sort of profit (or at least not "wasting" money) I just don't seem to have the knack to gain access to raw materials. :roll:
Well, that's about it... see you all on the boards... I'll be the guy in the corner hanging out, occasionally throwing out the odd question or stirring up a light-hearted thinking session. Feel free to pull up a chair and have a cold one with me. :mrgreen:
