Fish is in my blood!

Full circle huh!? Have you ever put anything in your tank that you caught? Back when I was solely into freshwater I saw some little fish swimming around in a drainage ditch that I really wanted to add to my guppy tank. I had just beaten a camallanus worm breakout though so I decided it was best to not be introducing anything unknown... ha ha, back before I had any idea about what a quarantine was.

Did that when I was a little kid. Had a few baby largemouth bass & bluegills.

I love fishing as well and being on the water in my boat in general.

Australian threadfin salmon.

Those are some good looking fish! Do you have any mounted?

Apart from my reef addiction I love to ski and play football. Real football that is, not that weird game you call football where you throw an egg about[emoji6]
I see what you did there :) where's your favorite place to ski?

Haha! I'm 29 miles from the Cairngorms so that's my "local" slopes but my favourite place is Zell am See in Austria! One day, if I can ever afford it, my dream destination is Breckenridge!

Well, thanks for the Google homework to find out where all these places are... except Austria, I know where that is :)

EDIT: Wow. They all look amazing, but Breckenridge looks like it was made specifically for the purpose of sliding down.

Ah good ole' wood working... always loved it, never been any good at it. Which is a surprising shame due to the fact that my dad was a general contractor for 30 some odd years and I spent a lot of my childhood and into my teens on construction sites, my step-dad works for a cabinet manufacturing company and is pretty handy himself, and my best friends' dad growing up built furniture from massive slices of tree trunks and whatnot. Been around it my entire life, but I can't cut a straight line through a piece of wood to save my life...

I learned from my grandpa and alot of trial and error. The furniture side is alot of fun, but can be frustrating as well.

RC JEEPS. OFF-ROAD Jeeping, PC Gaming, My Kids,
I've seen some pretty sweet, and chilling, videos of jeeps rock climbing (I'm assuming that's what RC stands for. Or is it remote control?). I also enjoy gaming, though most of my spare time is filled with tank things :)

Lol I'd love to try furniture... as long as it was just for looks. If not I'd have to have a stack a waivers nearby for anyone wanting to use it!

I do rock climbing with my Jeep and the RC is remote control, which I also do rock climbing with them!
