Hey fellow CanReefers!
How's it goin'!
Maybe this is a silly and unnecessary post, but regardless, I feel the need to extend a preliminary explanation.
When I joined this message board last May, some of you may recall that I mentioned my job takes me away from home on a 4 week in/ 4 week out rotation.
(I work for the Coast Guard, on the ships. No harm in revealing that, I suppose.)
[Note to Christy, if your reading this: This is how I am aware of PBS Nanaimo. I've worked out in the field with many PBS people. Beamish, Saunders, Boutillier, Anton, Ford, Lessard? (Did I get that right? Abalone.) To name a few.]
Anyhoo....I am most pleased to announce that I have secured a shore based assignment here at our Victoria Base.
It is for two years and, although I will still be on a 4 week on/ 4 week off rotation, (working 12 hours/day during the on cycle), I will be home for 2 years!!!! :biggrin: (Unless I go to Hawaii, or something, on an off cycle for some snorkeling. :wink:).
One of the benefits of being home, obviously, is that I will now be able to become involved with CanReef and the Reefing Community on a more consistent basis, which I am really looking forward to. :biggrin: (Not to mention just being home with my Reef Tank and continue to learn on a steady basis, is a big plus. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:).
So essentially, the point of this post is just to explain, in advance, why it is that you'll be seeing more consistent participation from JR. (Isn't that silly?) :rolleyes:
Now I can hardly wait to get my tank drilled and get that sump goin' again!:biggrin:
Be on the lookout in November for a Truck & Tank Move Recruitment post, (if I may be so bold as to borrow a line from Brad).
Oh. One other thing....
When's the next Island Get Together?:biggrin:
Cheers and happy reefing :biggrin:,
