Hello, I've been gone for a VERY long time (2007? wow.)

I'm reactivating the account to get some help with a personal project (not going to post it here, it's going into the Nuclear Engineering forum where it belongs).

Please understand that all my former posts are NOT indicative of my attitude today, and that I have matured greatly.

I look forward to hanging out around here and contributing.

Cheers,

Patrick.

Welcome (back) to PF!

When you were here before, did we ever discuss...fish? Like, do you have a favorite species?
 
Not that I recall. Like I said, looong time ago.

But today - what is your favorite fish?
 
Fish Head Friday, huh? :P

Uhm, Ling Cod, I suppose.
 
Nice, can't go wrong with a ling cod...

Thus we perform our official welcoming ceremony: the fish slap!

Now you are officially (re-)welcomed to PF :smile: !
 
D***! I missed the ceremony! Well, I hope you enjoyed it Flyboy. :biggrin:

And welcome back to the forum! :)
