bobsvinyl Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Howdy! I belong to Community Tank Forum, and I've had the pleasure of meeting some of your members over there. I was so impressed with how nice the NZ contingent was, I decided to come over and join your site. I'm a mailman in New Hampshire which is in the Northeast of the U.S. I have 5 children aging from 13 to 22. 3 are at home and 2 are in college. My wife Diane and I have been happily married for 28 years. I have been raising fish since I was 11. My love is Central and South American cichlids. Currently, I have very few fish because we are buying a new home. Once we're settled in, I'll be going crazy again. Hope to make many new friends here!

Caryl Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Hi Bob good to see you here too. At least I will get to see some of you now despite not being able to get into the CT AGAIN!! :evil: Would one of you from CT please tell bowhunter I have sent a PM to him on this site re his camera problem as I can't get into the CT to reply there? Thanks. Hey Goldie, only in America do the stalkers have stalkers! :lol: At least these ones seem to be harmless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Fishie minds think alike Bob. It' like follow the fish to NZ. What a voyage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsvinyl Posted November 24, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Thanks for the welcomes. Goldie- I'll probably go with 55 gallons or under to start off. Someday I'd like a 125 fitted into the wall with some big Cental Americans tooling around in it. Probably fenestratum or regani. I have a good friend shipping me some theraps nicaraguense tomorrow. I can't wait. I'm very interested to find out about the hobby in NZ. It seems like you have to deal with quite a few restricted fish. I don't think we have much of a problem over here. That would drive me crazy. Caryl- I'll pass your message on to bowhunter. I'm so sorry you're having the connecting problems. It has to be related to the changeover. Still must be bugs in there.

Pegasus Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Hi there Bob, Great to see you here and hope this becomes your second home.

bobsvinyl Posted November 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 As I told them at CT, my phsyical body was failing, so a team of doctors coated me in plastic until they could decide what course of action would be best. Being encased in plastic, I couldn't do very much so I just thought about things. As I looked down at my plastic coated hands I said "Well, I guess Bob's vinyl now." The birth of a screen name. (Actually I've been collecting records since I was a young kid. I have over 10,000 LPs. Another hobby to go crazy over!) Another posting buddy swears I got my name because I sell and install vinyl house siding. Actually, I'm not sure anymore where the name came from. I am often confused and wander aimlessly...That's how I ended up here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
