Once a price tag enters the situation, its hard to validate.
I already started her fund, "its called Emma's Jedi Mind Trick fund", but who knows. I am just tired.
Sorry Jim for this going down in your thread. Lets just kill this and stay tuned in the for sale forum.
You leave the office and go on some sales calls and come back to this????
Mark, you have been a great inspiration for me in the short time that I have known you. You have amazing husbandry skills and a wealth of knowledge that helps others (like myself) along. But only you know what is best for Mark P. If you are feeling like its time to pull the rip cords, and have thought it out thoroughly, then I know that your decision is whats best for you and your family. I support you all the way whatever you decide, although if you decide to leave, our local community will lose another valuable asset as you bring so much to the table.
I urge you to not leave as nothing you have done can't be "undone", and even though that money could have been spent elsewhere, its not the last 20k you're going to make. I mean, look at the look on Emma's face
She knows that tank makes her daddy happy, so in turn she is happy
But if the tank no longer makes you happy, then you have already made you decision.
However, I hope that your interest in the hobby never dies though, and you can always live vicariously through your friends tanks here in town, until the time is right for you to begin again.
You're a stand up guy, and even though I have only known you for a short time, I have great respect for you. If you ever want to talk, you know my number
Cheers buddy,
Jim
