Hello All!

[raisingtwo2006]

I have been out of the game for a while- I see a lot of familiar faces and a ton of new ones!!!
I don't live in Georgia anymore, but waaaayyy out in Billings, Montana. We don't really have a reef club out here (or much of anything else) and I'm back in the reefing world again.
I don't trust anyone's opinions and advice as much as yalls~
So if you guys don't mind me hanging out and being so far away- I'd love to be apart of the family again

Edit: (and I put this in the wrong place....meant to be in the lounge, sorry)

I hear Montana is prettier than Georgia anyway! WB

 

[raisingtwo2006]

Thanks
They definitely get more snow out here!

First off, welcome. . But I must say I am offended by your comment about Billings not having much of anything. Shoot growing up we used to drive 7 hours just to get to the "Big City" of Billings. I grew up in Scobey. A thriving metropolis of 1800 in NE MT.

Sounds cold to me but I hear Montana is gorgeous!

 

[rdnelson]

Yes it is. Western part of the state has gorgeous mountains. But where I gre up is on the Great Plains. Gorgeous at harvest time but brutally cold in the middle of a winter storm.

 

[raisingtwo2006]

My bad- to a lot of people this is the big city But I come from Denver, and Atlanta.... So I'm struggling.

Howdy stranger! Welcome back.

Not a problem. I was joking because as a kid Billings seemed HUGE. Now I know it would feel like a small town. LOL Ever make it over to Bozeman? If you are into skiing, give Bridger Bowl a try. It isn't on any of "Got to go to" lists but is really a nice hill with some tough runs and great powder.

Welcome back!

Thanks, guys!! I'm ready for yall to see my new build ~ WAAAY better than the old 90 or 150 that I had

And we went over to Bozeman once, but the fish store up there was closed for remodeling at the time. We don't really ski... tried, failed miserably. But we were looking for a good sledding hill

 

[rdnelson]

I have never been there but I think Red Lodge has a place for sledding. Or they did back in the late 70s. Yes I am that old. LOL. Or you could just sled down Rim Rock Drive. Hehehe. As a kid we would put our skates on at home and skate down the street to get to the skating rink ( an empty lot that the volunteer fire department would flood in September).
