Anin. Welcome to NJRC. Looking forward to meeting you at one of our meetings.
 
hey folks,

richT thanks for the welcome (on the other thread)!

Some quick introductions:
I work for a bank in NJ. We recently relocated across the hudson to Metuchen, NJ. I have absolutely zero handy skills. In NY my idea of a handy skill was to call the super. LOL.

I have a wife and two girls (5 and 1). We are adjusting to life here and I hope to re-start the hobby again (budget and wife permitting).

Not a whole lot of experience with sw (unless you count the ultra-frustrating 80s when the UGF was the *key* to success), I spent the better part of the past few years on the RC board. While that was great, I wanted to get in touch with something closer to home and this board seems absolutely perfect.

So once I get situated I'll be sure to post plenty of questions.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Phil

Welcome To The Club!

You are pretty much right around the corner from me (I'm in South Plainfield). Ask all the questions you want...If someone can't answer it, we can surely point you in the right direction.

Have Fun!
 
Hi all, here's my story. Like a lot of you I was born and raised in NJ, Jersey City to be exact. I moved "down the shore" in 1984 and have been living in Brick since 1992. I'm one of the older folks around here - I'll be 50 in Dec. Been married for 29 years, yep I was 20, and have 3 boys the oldest of which graduated High School last week. I'm a finance guy who works in NYC and just loves the 3.5 hrs of daily commuting - NOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

As for my reef experience it is currently zero. I had a 55 gal FOWLR for 3 yrs or so but broke it down in 2005 when work got kind of nuts. I've wanted a reef for a long time and have been lurking around RC for quite a while. I went out and bought a AGA 120 that is currently sitting in my Family room waiting to be set up. I found NJRC and was incredibly impressed with the membership and the officers. It realy is incredible how the member help eachother with things from basic advice to major tank moves! I joined last month and hope to meet many of you at the meetings. Unfortuneatly I ruptured my acchillies tendon a few weeks ago and am currently out of commission - but in the words of Governer Schwarteneger "I'll be back".

Welcome to NJRC! I can't imagine how much that achilles must hurt. Hopefully you're well on your way to recovery now!

Welcome to NJRC! Sorry to hear about your tendon, that's gotta hurt. Let us know if you need help with the 120. We live in Jackson so we're not too far away.

You ought to try to hobble over to this month's meeting. It's relatively local and is bound to be a good time. You may even be able to find a liquid pain-killer or two!
 
let me be the first non-moderator, non board member to say "Welcome aboard!"

;D

Actually i agree - I am really impressed with the officers and members on this forum. All except for that Abby Stain person who keeps running. What's up with that?
