Hey. Been hearing about y'all from the Nauvoo site for ages. Thought I'd drop by and introduce myself.

I live in the Salt Lake Valley and I'm 31 years old. I am married and have 4 kids.

Good to be here. Thanks!

----Lance

I've thought about changing my monaker for a long time but it's just too unique to part with. So sorry.

The name comes from my occupation. I work with very large computer systems. Those systems must be backed up onto computer tapes for emergencies and/or disasters. I am the All-Knowing Tape Guy here where I work. The tapes are similar in appearance to the old 8-track tapes, yet they hold more than 1 Terabyte of data. For you non-computer geeks, that's over 1 TRILLION bytes of data.....or you could just say 'Lots'.

I've lived in the Salt Lake Valley my whole life (except for the 2 years I spent in Ecuador). And that's about it.

My brother turns 30 this year and went on his mission to Ecuador. Did you know Elder Kent Pilkington?

Welcome to the madhouse, Tape Guy! [Wave]

Posted by TapeGuy (Member # 7637) on :

Negatory, Lady Jane. I am 31 but back then there were 3 missions in Ecuador. I served in the Guayaquil North Mission.

ketchupqueen, good to see you in another madhouse besides Nauvoo!

Posted by Lady Jane (Member # 7249) on :

He was in Guayaquil South, I think. I'm Katharina on Nauvoo, although I post there rarely.

Welcome, TapeGuy [Wave]

Are you a big fan of Red Green and, if so, do you do a lot of random duct taping?
