[Rob.D]

Sure disappear then come steal sales from us???? :wink:

 

[TriMax]

Oh, I never thought of it that way. Yeah, Seth what is going on? :bigsmile:

 

[Spongie]

I paid my dues, what else you want from a brotha?:wink:

Seriously though, been busy lately with work, the family, and some video gaming of course (it's cheap and I have done it dang near since birth).

I am just starting to revamp my love of reefing after a pretty large setback about 6-8 months ago involving an unplugged heater and a 3-5 hundred dollars worth of some nice stuff and thought about saying F it all. This was after I lost all my LPS (including my beloved acans) 6 months before (quick tank change that wasn't ready for coral, noob mistake I know).
Rob, I lost the BGM:sad:, but the RWM survived:clap2:. I lost like 8-10 of my favorite sps pieces:cry:. I thought it was going to be a total loss and you would have too if you had seen it. All in all though, it has made a pretty decent comeback. I wish I had some more spare time right now but I am in the boat as a few million other Americans, the job keeps asking more and more of me with little to no compensation for the extra effort. That means less time, energy, and (most importantly) money to devote to the hobby I love. I know you guys probably feel like I should be more active than I have been but what can I say? My time is a precious commodity nowadays and I have to choose wisely how I spend it. Not that I don't miss you all, I do. I love this hobby, the people I meet through it, and of course the corals. Hopefully I can segue back into the hobby with style, finesse, and some nice frags.

Oh and Eddie I don't know that I could offer much in the way of sponsorship this year. I have given 2 complete setups 2 years running but I don't have anymore to spare. I might be able to throw a frag or two into the raffle but that would be about it. Let me know if that is something the club would like (Meteor shower? It would have to be fresh cut though).
