    Default Thinking of getting out

    I believe it's time to take a break from the hobby. I have found a home for the the 150 I believe so if it all works out the binfords will be taking some time away from the hobby to concentrate on scuba diving and our new grandson. We just wanted to say goodbye to everyone on CR. Everyone on the site has been very helpfull and it is truly a great community to be part of. We will miss all of your input,quips and comments and wish all of you the best. It will be strange to not have a tank but the 20+ years has been a great learning experience and we have met so many good people. I am hanging on to the equipment for now tho just in case the withdrawals are to painful. Lol. Take care

    I totally understand the need for a break, make sure you do HOLD on to your stuff!!! I am replacing (trying to) all this stuff that I had, and it stinks.

    I truly believe this hobby becomes a lifestyle, and once you have been bitten, it never goes away. :D

    Enjoy the time with the new Grandson, and make sure to take lots of SCUBA pics!!! I am sure Jim won't mind you posting them here.

    Default Disaster and Prevention??

    Hello Mr. Binford! Sorry to read you are thinking about taking a break, Chuck. Did you have some tank issues that prompted the decision? You have created such a beautiful system with so much heart felt effort and work it just seems a shame to shut it all down. Get a bigger tank and scuba dive at home!!!!! Seriously, Chuck, best wishes, Grandpa! Don't know what I am going to do at the swaps. You were always the first and best customer!. Let me know when my corals are up for sale. HA!
