Getting Out

dwilliams87 · Aug 29, 2014

I've not posted in a while so I figured I would do one last post before I get out of the hobby. Who knows I may get in later but I've got a new job and a lot less time. I lost the love for it that I had and without extra time it's time to say good bye. I've got a buyer for everything so the coral will be staying in the area. I tore down the 20 tonight and moved everything to the 40 until they come get it. This is the last photo of everything. It's been fun guys. I may get back in in the future. Ya'll take care.

Sorry to see you getting out but sometimes it is for the best. I have thought of it several times in the past but my wife talked me out of it. I'm glad she did.

I know Kevan. I have very mixed feelings about it. But this nee job has changed a lot. I also have to set up a home office and I need the space because I don't have room right now. That will allow me to work from home 3 days a week and with my commute being 65 miles one way, I need that for the extra time and money savings. I love th new job, but right now I'm leaving my house at 5:20 and not getting home until 6 and then working another couple of hours at night. So it would give me an extra 3 hours back to my day. It was a tough decision, but I'm not spending the amount of time with my family that I feel I need to be.

That's what's important. The minute my tank gets in the way of that it's gone.

The family would go before my tank...

Sad to see you go Dan. I totally understand why and have the same thoughts.

Don't be a stranger.

Good luck man. Sorry to see you go. I completely understand though. I've been having some of the same thoughts lately with helping coach two travel soccer teams plus a full time job and then my wife having lots of health issues lately. Sometimes our love for the hobby has to take a back seat.
