I've got two...both original 2001, last hydro 2007. I'll consider an offer, but I can't beat the $15 craigslist ones. The valves are worth more to me than that.

I have one, but I always seem to need it from time to time.
Looks like I am getting one of enchantmentdivi's 80's.

Thanks!!!

Okay I will take number two, that's fair. I went to doc's on Wed, and got cleared. Well he said the injury is healed up, he said I got to come back in a week or two and get it looked over again then it will take a week or so for it to heal from that visit. Then I am in the god damn water.....FINALLY.

I know it my man, and I appreciate it a lot. I intend to take you up on that soon, cause when I can get back in the water it may only be hard to get me out again.

those 149's are only 29.5" well that's only 1.5 inches taller than my 120's. just thought i would share the numbers. I wanna dive them twinned up and feel that swing.

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
