Coolness, eh?

It looks like he's hungry. He thinks he's at the delicatessen staring through the glass at some scrumptious pastry!

Wow, he really does!

What an awesome shot! I wonder where he thinks he's going, out and about to see the world? Or maybe he was just tired?

I love it when you see things in photos after the fact....

Congratulations!! Glad to know that Erica and baby are doing well!

:wav:

I love the name too!

Has anyone let him know that Sounder is on the trail? He might be relieved to know that there are people interested in helping him. It would also be funny if he found a willing diver and that diver found the reel by now. I think the cleanup idea is a good one anyway. I've seen bits of nets around co...

Have a great time, and please wish Cheng a happy birthday!!

The difference in spine length is not noticeable- one-fourth the test width in whites, one-fifth in greens. And this seems to vary somewhat with size, with little ones appearing to have proportionately longer spines. Whites have fewer spines than greens. Greg, we are very lucky to have your experti...

OR, you could drive around asking "are you Sounder" - that might be entertaining. Course, if I see you coming, I'll answer "no" just to watch you drive around and around asking random people if their name is "Sounder!" HA! :bootyshake: ok, so i'm really blind w/o my gl...

They aren't so lucky in other places. For example, in Soviet Russia SMB deploys YOU!
Sorry. It's Friday and I can't help it.

That is inside the diver exclusion area. He approached me in the parking lot on Wednesday and asked for my help, and I pointed this out to him. I told him it would be difficult to find someone willing to violate the boundary rules...as much as I felt for him, I couldn't do it. I didn't think about ...

I am quite happy to be an illustrious? member of the WP. :) Since we're going to be there most of the day I will set up in the pay lot. I have seen people set up canopies over the ends of their parking spaces if we're all grouped together, or maybe we can commandeer a trailer parking spot. Sounder, ...

This week's XKCD....



And this Tuesday's Penny Arcade.....

And punish Penelope for starting all this by calling us Dorks. :crybaby: :evil4: I seem to remember you guys calling yourselves Dorks; Penelope just provided the definition :evil4: I wish I could make it on the 22nd and meet all the W.P.'s in person! Thanks Loretta! :salute: I'm sorry you can't mak...

Yes, we will be grilling, unless there is severe weather going on. I'm bringing my canopy just in case. I'll be bringing: two small grills charcoal Please don't let me forget the stupid lighter this time utensils for grilling a table mayo ketchup paper towels bags for recyclables a large vat of pota...

Aye!

But I will take over coordination duties if it proves to be too much for him. I'm sure carrying around that WP is exhausting.

nope. UPS ground, so late next week probably...

Well, you can check out my crappy one this weekend and then wow me with your super-swank one at the club dive.

:laughing3: Thanks everyone! Of course, my 200 dives look pretty paltry next to the 2000th (!) dive that Bob will be hitting when he gets back from Indonesia. I think that calls for a real celebration! Whatchoo think, Bob? I think at the rate you're going, you'll catch up to me in no time ... \:D/ ...

That's funny, my sister had a similar conversation with a local shop. Sis: I'd like to buy an SMB. Shop: A what? Sis: A surface marker buoy. Shop: What is that? Sis: It's a bag that you partially inflate when you're underwater that floats to the surface so that people on the surface know where you ...

You're making it sound easy, but I've heard how hard that class is. Congratulations!!

Gonna be hard to reach your valves with your new flippers, though.

Thanks everyone!

You are welcome Sheri! And thanks everyone for the congrats. I still have a lot to learn but I am having an awesome time in the process. Greg, I would love to dive with you on Thursday but am currently scheduled to have a girls night out (of the water) that night. I would LOVE to dive with you soon,...

I thought they used giant hyper-dry snorkels?

I met Sheri at Cove 2 last night for a practice dive…we've been working on descents and last night planned on doing a couple in somewhat deeper water. After a couple of false starts with equipment issues, and a discussion about the “three strikes and we’re calling the dive!” philosophy, we finally m...

Yeah. She's like that......She heard me talking about you and thought I said your name was "NailHer69". So she asked for your email and I gave it to her.

OMG, I was still giggling about that this morning!
