Club Dive! Club Dive! Club Dive! June 22nd, Sund Rock!

Jeez Bill. You don't have to guilt trip me. I'll PM about carpooling from Oly.

Well if ya want to. I'd hate to be a bother.
We can take my ride it has a bit more room.

[Fishstiq]

That's good, because everyone knows that Joe has no buns!

Or brains, or brawn or bal.........never mind.

See that right there? That was yet another opportunity for you to be nice to me......

If Pez is sitting in someone's lap it sounds like he's ALREADY bringing buns!

That's good, because everyone knows that Joe has no buns!

See that? Another opportunity to be nice to me that Penopolypants just passed up.


I'm beginning to think you guys' situational awareness is lacking.....

[Pez7378]

Sorry, I'll try to be more alert. You know, like a guy at 70 fsw who finds and retrieves 33 or so golf balls, or someone who while leading a dive, descends down a line, then completely loses all sense of direction. Yeah, you're right. I'm totally not aware of the situation! Hey Jake, wanna trade dive buddies?!?!

Oops, did I just pass up yet another opportunity?.................See, they're getting easier to spot already!

As long as your SURE you have the room. Ha Ha :rr:

[Penopolypants]

OK, I finally have to make a decision........I've been VERY ill for the past 3 days. It's getting better, and even though I should be over it by the weekend, the looooooong drive added to the diving, etc., doesn't even sound like fun right now (I can't believe I just said that). I guess the dive gods must be keeping me away from club dives :(
I hope you all have a great time, and I wish I could be there

But...who will issue some ovary smackdown with me if you don't go?!

I'm sorry you don't feel well Loretta, but I understand. We'll have another one.

[Penopolypants]

I'm beginning to think you guys' situational awareness is lacking.....

The only thing lacking is your heiney!

[Sounder]

Oops, did I just pass up yet another opportunity?.................See, they're getting easier to spot already!

Yes, you missed yet another opportunity to be nice to him... but I wouldn't worry about it.

Sorry to hear your not feeling well, hope your feeling better soon.
If Loretta is not going.... I'm not going,

Have a great dive/BBQ at Sund Rock,

If Loretta's not going, and AB219's not going, then I'M not going! I was planning on cancelling my dive with my buddies at Sund Rock so I could go to the Club dive, but since these two can't make it, I'll just stick to my original plans. Sorry you're feeling Loretta. Just think of the GAS you'll save!

[Penopolypants]

The Pez is feeling very silly lately.

If you are coming but don't know what to bring, may I suggest the following things:

Potato Salad
All-natural cheetos ( you may leave them with me for, uh, safekeeping)
lettuce, tomatoes, and onions (I'll bring a cutting board for slicing)
Cookies!
Fresh veggies
Cheese and crackers for the surface interval

PM me if you have any questions!

Loretta, sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Does this mean you're going to miss capsule training Saturday?

(For those of you who are wondering what capsule training is, it's quite simple. We sink a racing hydroplane hull mock-up with a live person in it in the indoor pool of a fancy hotel and take turns 'rescuing' the 'driver'. It gets very boring here in the desert so we have to come up with interesting log-book entries like flooded missile silos, rescuing people from boats that have sunken in swimming pools, that sort of thing. ::stircrazy::)

By the way, if I don't get to Puget Sound soon I'm going to lose it ](*,) Seriously. I'm goin' nutz here.
I can't make it Sunday, but it's gotta be soon. Real soon. I'm now to the point of alternating between incoherent rants and passing out. <thud>

If Loretta is not going.... I'm not going,

LORETTA'S NOT GOING?!?!?!

ok, forget it, CLUB DIVE'S OFF!

first Pez decides to ditch us to go to Sund Rock with his buddies, then Loretta gets sick and now no one wants to go if she's not there, and of course to make matters worse Penelope has to go ahead ask people to bring fresh veggies and all-natural cheetos!?!?!


so what's the point anymore?!?! i mean, really! forget this silly "club dive" stuff!

whose stupid idea was this anyway???


let's all just go diving, instead!!

so. how does sunday at sund rock work for you all? 9am sound good?

[Maverick]

sounds good

[billandwende]

:smt038
Sounds like a great idea to me. I'll be there and bring fresh veggies. lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Um also fresh I guess. And whatever a all-natural cheeto is (I hate my un-natural cheetos) I guess I can pick up some of those as well.

[airsix]

Glad you are feeling better. Hope you get your strength back soon too.

Uhh... 4 hours? I didn't know it was going to be that long. ](*,) Better bring pool toys.

Ben & Loretta: you guys have fun!! Afterwards, you'll probably realize you got some exercise!

[BASSMAN]

Hmmmmmm?
I could almost do a couple of dives at Sund rock on Sunday.
I'm taking the day/night off{Sunday} so I can go up to Alaska with Tom-Nic on Monday morning.
I will be going to Church so 9:00 am I can't do, but if you are planning to dive in the afternoon?...

i'm sure there will be a least a few folks diving in the afternoon... but if you're flying out monday, isn't it a bad idea to dive on sunday? what time is your flight?

[BASSMAN]

OOP's Good point, Diving + Flying =
Have fun On Sunday, I'll be playing it safe and staying dry.

[airsix]

Ben & Loretta: you guys have fun!! Afterwards, you'll probably realize you got some exercise!

You're right! I didn't expect to be so tired afterward! I spent a lot of time flipping and moving the capsule which was quite a workout (as you know).

Wish I'd been available to meet you last week when you were here.

By the way I've got to give some praise to Loretta. The training organizers were watching everything poolside via CCTV (fishcam) and they were all saying she had the best extractions. I think that's awesome in no small part because I was the guy in the capsule at the time! Riding the capsule was a new experience - aviation-style helmet-mounted regulator, no mask, strapped into a 5-point harness, upside-down in a fiberglass coffin filled with water... It was a little bit of a rush.

OK diving in a missile silo? Now that seems fun to me. :smt038

[BASSMAN]

Good call Keith on not diving and flying . I'd like to finally meet you someday!

Yes, Some day we will meet, I just hope it's not while you are extracting me from some fiberglass,water filled, coffin!

Looks like you did well!

Keith
