    PS, cone business still going strong. For those who don't know here at SD, Eddie is the one who suggested I make swirl clay cones.
    I'm pretty sure the wife won't let me have discus anywhere near the bedroom. Lol

    It's always good to see you back in the swing of things here Eddie.
    Yeah man. I'm looking for some nice wild offspring and the breeder also has some nice vintage cobalts. I'm pretty stoked about it. As usual, I'll probably go for some young ones and grow them out. Discus are a fortune in Japan.

    Like Matt mentioned, I'd imagine that it would be a great and easy place to find some high quality discus.
    The weather is moderate although it rains quite a bit. I was surprised to see the temp up around the 90s over the summer. It snows in the winter so the heaters will definitely be coming on.

    This time around we are living in base housing for the central heating/cooling. We'll see how it all works out.

    I'm currently at the airport now. My Son and I are flying directly over to Japan from London. We have a 12 hour flight ahead of us. It's going to be brutal.

    In Japan don't they still sleep on those cheap roll out mats you always see in old war movies? Go for the tank. Welcome back to the forum.

    Definitely Pat! Discarrow from Facebook. They've got a variety of Wild offspring and other varieties. Once I get established, that will be a first trip!

    Tanks are crazy expensive here and I want a decent sized tank so it may be a little while before I find a tank.

    Thumbs up Re: Moving

    Welcome back dude, used to read all your posts when I first joined SD. As an retired USAF F/Sgt, I know all about them PCS moves with the family and getting set up again at the new base. Good luck and be safe. Looking forward of having you back into the hobby. Remember shipping an 65G tank in my house hold goods from the Philippines to Texas, arrived in all one piece....

    With your connections what would it take to hook up a crate full of tanks and supplies and parachute a drop near your door step. lol
    If only it was that easy buddy...

    Good luck,

    Thanks! The forum was always a great community. I've been gone a long time. I'm anxious to get back into the hobby, at least until we move again. Lol

    Thanks Ralph. Well, we'll only be around Tokyo for 3 years but that's plenty of time to get some fish.

    I wish I had some hookups like that. I'd get a few 150s in if I could. Lol
