Leaving the Hobby

[Dean]

MAAST

After purchasing a piece of property in Martindale this summer and now moved out to Lockhart I am no longer going to have the time to fill my role as President for MAAST. We will be spending all of our free time on the weekends out in Martindale getting the property ready to build our home on and then of course getting our home built.

You have all been a pleasure to work with over the last year and I wish you all and MAAST nothing but the best.

Take care and happy reefing. :)

Dean, you've done a tremendous deal for this club and honestly, without your drive in righting the ship, I'm not sure if there would be a MAAST. You leave big shoes to fill and I hope one day to be able to say I've done a fraction as much for this club as you have. Have a good one buddy, and enjoy the new home.

Dean, I appreciate all that you've done for the club. I'm thinking 2 yrs or so you'll start to get the itch again to get back into the hobby. When you do let me know and I hook you up with some nice corals to get it going.

Dean you have done a great job as our President and will be missed. Board members and especially our President puts in a bunch of time to make this club work. Dean with building a new home I would think comes a new aquarium, so keep us informed.

Will miss you man, one of the hardest working president.

Dean, sorry to see you go bud. Your drive to see the club prosper will definetely be missed. You did more for this club than most people will know. Good luck on the house build, we will eagerly await your return.

Good luck Dean on your future endeavors. You've done a good job for MAAST, always willing to help. Dean had volunteered to deliver corals from Austin to SA on more than one occasion which was very much appreciated. Good luck on the new property!

Wow, I just saw this. Just promise me that you will not sell your equipment! You know you will get that itch and at least you will have all of your gear to start back up vs. buying it all brand new. I will miss you as President my friend. Take care and keep us posted on the progress with you house!

[Davie118]

Lol he already sold his equipment. I think his kids still have tanks though.

You will be missed Dean. Somebody is going to have a big set of shoes to fill. Best of luck with your new home and let us know when you get ready to set up another tank.

Dean,

I look forward to when we meet again you might be out for now but not forever. Good luck and god bless.

[Bill S]

Good luck with the "build". I'm betting you will be back... And thanks for all you've done.

[Dean]

Just want to thank you all for all of the kind words and well wishes.

I have the go ahead for a fish room in the new house so I will be back! :)

[Justin]

Yea boy! I got the okay from the wife for one and it's awesome! Salt water mixing station, storage for everything and a 40breeder as a grow out tank. Your going to love having one man

Sounds to me like this should be a build thread, for a nice in wall tank. You'll be back, we always come back.

[leliataylor]

I have a fish room and it is so nice to have everything in one place, except I had to have a tank in my office and one in the living room. Can't work in the office without the sound of water and watching seahorses and the DT in my living room will be beautiful someday with lots of softies to go with the seahorses. LOL

Best of luck with your new house and let everybody know when your new tank/tanks are ready.
