Just a little more about me. If you've made it this far I thank you.

I am a Calibration Engineer and Small partner in a Mortgage lending company. We just won 4th overall for rookie branches nationwide.
I'm an avid supporter of cancer charities due to having Leukemia when I was quite young, some of my posts will involve speaking of the wonderful things Starlight Foundation, Canteen and Camp Quality (I will never shill or ask the community for any monetary assiatance), as well as some cyrpto info and graphs and odd things I see on the road.

As someone close to me once said

"The time is now, only you can achieve your dreams. so what are you waiting for? get off your ass and get going!"

From this post alone I can tell you will do well here.

Welcome to Steemit and welcome to an awesome community and place to be.

It looks like you are already seeing that this is a great place and I hope you will continue to find that to be the truth.

Thanks Timbo

No problem and good luck to you here! Looks like you have continued to do well. Keep it up!

I do have a question for you though... Are you a pilot? By the picture you left here in this post I would guess you are in some type of helicopter but one can never be to sure.

Either way, I wish you the best and would love more info on that photo! :D

No mate not a pilot. I'm a former aircraft engineer, so I do a little bit of flying on the side. My uncle has a few different aircraft up in the Northern Territory and whenever I'm up there I'm always in them.

Very nice my brother is a pilot in Washington just for now a private pilot. I am working on getting a pilot license but it is a pretty penny to get the hours you need to certify. Sounds like you at least learned a thing or 2 and took some good pictures! :D

Gday mate!! Another Holland Park guy on here. Its Mike A. Looks like we'll have the whole bloody highschool on here after long.

I'll stick you on my autovoter mate.

Hey Maaaaate! I think that was Ad's plan lol. More HP the merrier I say

Awesome mate, Cheers

Welcome

Thank you

Welcome to this awesome community. How's your stay here so far? Wishing you all the best of luck! ★★

Thanks mate, pretty much only just got in the door, am just reading intro posts at the moment. thanks for being awesome.

Hi noob, welcome to this site, im looking forward for more post.

Thanks

Welcome to Steemit. It's a great platform. I read Raymond Feist as a teenager and loved it. It's been so long I think I would have to start back at the Magician (was that the first one?).

Same I have most of his collection and love his work. Magician is the first book, if you're Brisbane feel free to drop me a msg I'll gladly help anyone relive their childhood memories

In Melbourne. There are pretty cheap reprints of them. Once I plow through the current reading pile I think that will be next up :)

Good choice, and you will be amazed, as there are so many more books that he has written in in the last 15ish years.
Good luck.

Welcome Dan! What a great introduction post. Are you learning to be a pilot as well?

I love flying and have taken a couple of lessons. There’s no other feeling like it other than falling out of a plane.

Judging by your doco tastes I imagine we’ll have a bit in common.

Glad to have you with us on Steemit!

Also, check out @teamaustralia. We’re a community of Aussies who are very active on Steemit (I’m in Melbourne). We support each other on here and are a very friendly bunch. :)

Thanks mate, I'm doing little bits when I can, my uncle has a few aircraft and he he's slowly teaching me whenever I can get up to N.T. I was involved in Aircraft Engineering for a few years as well. I still haven't had the courage to jump out of a plane yet but I'll build up to that one.

Thanks for the tip I'll jump over and check out @teamaustralia.

Cheers again mate

No problem. Let me know if you need any help getting involved with Team Australia.

That's awesome that you have access to planes. It's still a dream of mine to get my pilots license.

You had me at Darts and Cricket. lol. That's good enough for me. Welcome to steemit buddy. Glad to see you have recovered and good on you for giving back. Will gladly follow your work. peace bro

Thanks mate. peace

Welcome fellow Pastafarian! Great to have you.

We all need to support the Flying Spaghetti Monster for he is kind and full of wisdom

I Upvoted and followed you because of the nice movies :) Welcome!

Thanks mate, I do recommend How to make money selling drugs it's a great doco

Great intro mate, welcome to Steem :)

Thanks Ads, great to be here

Welcome! :)

Thanks mate

hey @danjo1984

Welcome to steemit, and nice introduction post. ... I love the life advice you were given!!

cheers,
-Bec

Hey bec-on-the-block, thank you for the welcome. The life advice was given to me by my grandmother after she'd put away quite a few champers at my 21st, I'll never forget it.

@danjo1984 I love it! I actually just got similar advice from an awesome old Aunty last night and wrote a post about it.

Thanks @bec-on-the-block It was def not what I was expecting from her, she was almost 90 at the time.
I'll have to check your post, and thanks again for the welcome

Welcome to steemit!

Thank you

Welcome to the excellent platform, I certainly hope you have an amazing time here!

Thanks mate

good creation dear..carry on your activity..

Thanks so much :-)

Hey! welcome to the steem community. I am here because of Ausitbank's resteem.

Thanks for that, I'm here also because of @ausbitbank we went to high school together :-)

It's great to have you here Dan - the newbie :) we are newbies too (how many days in do we stop being a newbie?). We hope you find some inspiration and knowledge from Steemit. There's lots to learn and some more again...it never stops. All the best!

Thanks for that. That's a very ponderous question, would it be at the end of watching/reading all the welcome to Steemit Videos/Blogs? when you reach 'X' amount of followers? Maybe written 100 or so posts? When I stop feeling new, I promise they'll be a post about it. :-)

We'll look out for that post. Since we're only a couple of days apart (in terms of Steemit life), it will be an interesting read and we will be able to reflect on if we are at the same stage. We all grow and experience things at different speeds.

Welcome aboard! Look forward to seeing you around Steemit... Hope to see you in teamaustralia and in the chat rooms on Discord in Minnow Support and PAL (just ask @ausbitbank he'll sort you out) I can say that cause he's your friend and his partner is my daughter lol... Enjoy!

Thank you for that, and yes you will see me in both groups.
Thanks again for the warm welcome.

You're most welcome to the Big World Of Your [email protected] and make money comfortably.. lol😀

Thank you

Welcome, Dan! It’s a good space to be in :) And nice to see here someone who isn’t after money. I’m sure you’ll get rewarded just for being you nicely anyway ;) Enjoy the ride!

Thank you for warm welcome.
Peace.

Welcome to steemit, looking forward to seeing you around @chessmasterhex.

Welcome to Steemit! Enjoy the ride as much as you can!

I'm having a great time so far, and thank you for the welcome.

Welcome to The steemit community! This is one awesome supportive, empowering, and educating, community you could ever be in! I guarantee you'd have the best time here. I only just began a week ago and i've been having a great time here already. Just open your heart to embrace every step of the way! Your Growth will be inevitable! Cheers to a beautiful experience here.

Thank you for the welcome.

Well hearing your a fan of Raymond E Feist I had to say, his work inspired me to start writing and one of my main motivations for joining steemit in the first place.

Great intro, you seem like an interesting character with a great sense of humour - the Aussie slang is classic and in true Aussie style looking for a way to become unemployed!

Welcome to the platform, I'm sure you will achieve great things :D

Thank you for the welcome.

I first picked up one of his books when I was about 13, and had no idea that my first delve into the world of Midkemia would still be going strong 20 years later.

That's great news, are you writing in the same genre as Feist?

Greetings ⭐️ We’ve been waiting for you 👽

Thank you.

Upvote and Resteem!

Welcome to Steemit. I love that you put "im single" in the Post hehe

Cheers mate, always gotta be fishing lols.
Great to be here.
