Its been a looong time.
« on: May 10, 2012, 03:08:10 AM »
Hello everyone, figured I would reintroduce myself. To all the "new' people, my name is Jason and I remember this forum in its heyday. I can't believe I've been a member for 9 years and while I didn't play a big role, I did learn alot.

After a few bouts with aquariums I got out of it for a while. Between unemployment and space issues, I didn't have the time or the resources to maintain an aquarium. Yet strangely enough, I kept a few strands of java moss and a java fern sprouting alive over all those years.

Then last June, I moved to Austin, Texas for employment. While I was unable to bring any of my larger aquariums: 3 10's, a 29 g, 2 a 36 g and a 40 g, I did manage to bring my 2 gallon hex and mini-bow 5. Other than keeping my plants alive (yes, they came too  :P) I still haven't done much. Today that changed when I ventured into the backyard creek and found a baby crayfish. I brought it home with me and hope to raise it as I have in the past.

In any event, just glad to be back, but things have definitely changed. I wonder how many familiar faces I'll see.  :wave:

I think I remember ShieldWolf. Others I remember are PPulcher, StomachFluid, MollieLover and it seems that's it for active members...

Nine years? That's nothin'. I'll be here while I'm in a casket four feet in the ground :hihi:. Welcome back and a pleasure to meet your acquaintance :wave:
