While I feel like I should wear leg warmers or maybe roller skates too... when I put mine on... but xshorts are the way to go.

I have a blackberry curve, and it's awesome. Okay, except when I'm watching cartons while driving 65 mph down 405 driving a semi..... but whatever. I've posted with it a few times, and it allows smilies and everything. Plus it has an actual keyboard, wich I personally like better than a touchscreen...

Spatman might have just invented a new hiphop genre. (clear nerdcore influences) Did he just throw down the gauntlet for a NWDC rap-off? -Eric i wish i could take credit for starting the movement, but there's already a precedent on this forum for remixing lyrics to suit our purposes. not just hip h...

we did a dive at Redondo, earlier this year, and saw a Marbled Snail fish and the either a different kind of Snail fish or a Clingfish. Both are in the Lamb book but not very likely to see around here. Someone told me, "I think it has something to do with the Diver's Pier / Aquarium or what ev...

Anyone read The Highest Tide?

It was just handed to me recently... rumored to feature sea life in the pacnorwest and archetuethis.

Any good?

-Eric

My list is short... but yesterday was one of the best days diving in the pacnorwest for me so far. The east coast can suck on an empty cylinder as far as I'm concerned. With no hyperbole intended my first dive at EUW park in May was the clincher in my decision to move here. Ok so I had already had a...

iPhone SDK could be yours for $99

Spatman, Pez, Fishstiq, Sheri, Scottsax, and myself saw it as well. Deliciously comfy is a good way to describe him. It made an awesome dive at Redondo that much better. W00t! Hopefully no one goes out there and snags the poor lost bug :( -Eric I actually still say eat it. Who knows if he/she is go...

Having lived in Boston for the past 10 years I can safely say that is an atlantic (or maine) lobster. I saw it too... with Kalatin... My first reaction after having it pointed out was "And?" seeing that where I used to dive on Cape Ann is lousy with bugs. Makes me want to release some dung...

TDS, SB and NWDC all work pretty durn well on the second coming of the iphone. I've never posted using it but I've PM'd a bunch. You also have the added bonus of looking like a yuppy nerd when you're using it... oh... wait. -Eric Sprint Absolutely Everything Plan and the Samsung Instinct. It has its...

When I threaded my webbing (2" wide macrame) for the first time I had the following things on hand... a laptop with many browser windows open... and a beer (which got warm). I love my tall sized DSS plate... it fits and no silly keepers required! Here are some links about putting your harness t...

I know the exact moment I decided to simplify my life and go with a BP/W. I was traveling with my back inflate BC and pulled on my corrugated BC hose to dump some gas with the valve at the top of the connection... when the (stainless) cable inside the hose that actuated the valve snapped in two and ...

While I have no experience with the business practices of 5thD... I was wondering how they could possibly be closed on a Sunday... in the summer? There were hundreds of divers today on a hot summer day today on Alki. Why wouldn't they be open? I was going to buy a scout backup light from them... I c...

Ayup. I sent blitz a PM over there earlier today.

Thanks!

-Eric

Eric- The Deco Stop is your friend for a used light, Matt at NWSD is your friend for a great deal on a new Salvo, check with him on pricing before buying used, mention my name and tell him I said he'd give you a good deal. (Sorry Matt) -Doug Thanks Doug. TDS and SB were the "usual places"...

All,

I'm in the market for a HID can light of some wattage.

I'm going to post elsewhere in the usual places... but I would prefer to buy from someone else in the pacnorwest.

Thanks much,

-Eric

Are the tanks clean and in hydro+VIP?

Wow cool.

Yep both clean and and in hydro/vip. I'll let you know once they're finished servicing my manifold.

Will a dive shop care that I'm bringing them empty tanks to fill?

Thanks!

-Eric

Folks, As I sit waiting for my manifold and second 1st stage to be serviced, I'm thinking about setting up my doubles myself. I was wondering if anyone has any advice from those who have performed this task themselves. I found these two links on SB... and it seems pretty straightforward... http://ww...

Well... as the stop-gap solution to my leaky boot I just ordered a hangair. I'll give a full report after my first use. Since I don't have an outdoor space with a hose to rinse gear I too use the shower. I've always been too lazy or tired to get in to my dry suit and shower with it, but I've thought...

laivndvl bought a peet boot dryer and some PVC to extend the legs. Claims it works well. I just hang mine over a PVC bar and put the fan blowing on it and that works, but I don't have a leak (knocking on wood) Hmmm the peet thing is pretty... uh... neat. They seem to make one for hip waders that mi...

All, Has anyone ever used one of those goofy hangair things? Do they work? After a rinse, my drysuit doesn't quite dry as fast as I prefer here in the pacnorwest. (and my left boot leaks a smidge) Sadly I don't have the time or inclination at the to go guy a blower fan and some pvc and put my own to...

And we're honestly stoked that you are going to come out and dive with us. Especially because you spelled "Tweek" right (as in Tuesday Weekly, I just got that explained to me). Wow. "Tuesday Weekly" I had no idea. Somehow I thought it had something to do with tweaking skills... ...

The next time you're in the shallows of Alki Pipeline keep an eye out for a 3 C scout light... the old style body.

I donated one this past tuesday :(

That stupid knot had been on there for over a year.
