I have a hard time remembering which one is a decorated warbonnet and which one is a mosshead warbonnet.



I like fame and fuzzies. I can send you a higher res version if you want....

I agree with most of what's being said, including Dave's realism. I don't think legal or political action would be effective. How about some signs (underwater) that read something like: "The dive community respectfully requests that you do not hunt here. This dive site is akin to a public park...

Value per diver of the Oriskany... http://yosemite.epa.gov/EE/epa/eed.nsf/WPNumber/2007-09?OpenDocument is pretty danged high. I wonder how much it cost to clean her and when the 'investment' will break even. $23 million total to sink the Oriskany. Of course there were bumps in the road that can ho...

Amen! Give me an 8" chef's knife and a heavy 12" saute pan and I'm happy! I had drawers full of crap that I thought I couldn't live without, until I split from my ex. As it turns out, I need good knives and good cookware. Everything else just gets in the way. Very, very true. :) Both Sant...

What kitchen tools did he bring you? (I used to work at Sur La Table, and they were called tools, not gadgets, to justify the price.) Haha, yeah, tools. Ahem. :) I got a new set of ramekins, a set of stainless steel steak knives, a digital probe thermometer, and a big green serving platter. Ooh, an...

Santa brought me kitchen stuff to support my other hobby – cooking! But, I bought myself an early Christmas present in November when I got a bp/w and a lovely purple harness. Then my computer died so I had to buy myself an early birthday present, of course. I like it better when Santa brings my scub...

Let's see if photobucket will cooperate....




Congratulations to you and Mrs. Pepper on the latest little Pepper!

:wav:

Merry Christmas indeed! I have met so many great people through this board. I'm usually a quality over quantity person when it comes to friends, but what do you do when you meet so many quality people? What a conundrum! I am flying back from Georgia today after visiting with my family, so no diving ...

Tank is maybe sold pending non-flakey purchaser pickup.

Luxfer 80cf tank for sale, purchased new about 2 years ago, used a handful of times before I switched to steel. Current hydro and freshly vipped. $100 obo. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/penelopestjohn/tank2.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/penelopestjohn/tank1.jpg http://i59.photo...

These are swallowed whole, and as limpet shells stack together nicely, they pile up in the GI tract until they are finally pooped out. As you can imagine, passing a stack of limpet shells is probably a bit hard on the rear end, so they coat the whole mess with a very thick layer of mucus. So this i...

Congratulations Greg!!

Greg was our DM and "victim" in our Rescue class and did an outstanding job with both (hey, it can't be easy having people lug you around in the water!). I definitely would recommend him as an instructor.

That's too bad about your experience at Harper's Ferry....when I went there I saw many schools of fish. Hm. I wonder if the recent weather scared them away? Anyway, there are "stairs" in the rocks that you can climb down, although I imagine they are hard to find at high tide. They are near...

The purple eggs look like greenling eggs to me - and the location sounds right too. Usually there's a very colorful mama around and a watchful proud papa, though they're not NEARLY as aggressive as lingcod daddys are when watching over their eggs. Haha, yeah, I've been spanked pretty hard by a ling...

I was so excited about the grunt sculpin that I didn't even notice the eggs until looking at the pic after the dive. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/penelopestjohn/gruntywitheggs.jpg I also saw a mass of lavender gray eggs last night....I've seen them at Cove 2 near the I-beams as well. Anybo...

Thanks, that's 20 different kinds of frickin' awesome!!

Northern clingfish? you guys are pulling my leg, right? No way did some supercool edjumacated marine biologist scientist type name something "clingfish..." ](*,) Oh, scientist can be silly, too. Here are some funny critters: Ba Humbugi (endodontoid snail) from Mba island, Fiji. Eubetia Bi...

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I could use a little help as well I.D.ing a critter and I didn't want to start a new thread... Pez spotted this little guy at the bottom of a small piling, about 25 fsw cove 2 on the boundary line. He (pez) didn't have his camera, and neither of us knew what it w...

Edmonds Oil Dock is about 250 yards according to the map. I would say that the surface swim to Metridium Wall would not be that far, perhaps half that or less.

We were there on a fairly large exchange day and did not notice any current.

Dude, where's my buddy?

Sgt. Pepper exhibiting excellent buoyancy skills by riding Diver_C at Norrander's reef. Rich had not a clue the whole time.

So, what did he do with the cheetohs afterwards?!

Norrander's reef is a great dive. A small reef, but every inch was covered in life. There are two other dives there that are usually done as boat dives, because they are a bit of a surface swim, but you can do Metridium Wall without too much work. At low tide you would actually walk halfway there. W...

I put the white piece on the outside and the black piece on the inside. Not sure if that's the way that you're supposed to do it, but I dove this morning and they worked great.

Spatman and I are still planning on meeting at Redondo on Sunday for multiple dives, if you (or anyone else) care to join us!

I'll be there in the morning helping with an OW class; if you are there in the AM stop by and say "hi"

Will do!

My petite, innocent-looking sister ALWAYS gets the bomb swab. Once she had a small Beaker doll in her bag, and when they opened it up to swab it that was the first thing the guy saw. He burst out laughing and couldn't stop giggling while he was doing the test. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/...
