Cut off

Post by dsteding »

Well, it finally happened.

I was chatting with Matt over the current Luxfer cylinder shortage. I said "hey, order a Catalina, I'll give it a try."

Matt replied: "you own enough scuba cylinders."

Nice Doug, I am jealous NOT that I could even use most of that BUT it's cool.


Also of my three 130's last night, only one was mine the others are on lend from Marcoux, so I am not very cool at all.

Ooooh... I like this game!! Can I play too?

Of course, as soon as we got started Scott would chime in and put us all to shame... and then he'd start talking about fill stations. :notworthy:

It's a disease, and we should all watch one another for signs of it. I knew you were lost when I saw the little trail into your condo, two years ago.

I'm about to order another 40.

I'm afraid it doesn't stop. I've SEEN Scott's garage.

Lynne, I'm now taking up TWO garages somewhere on Mercer Island (not disclosing the location). One for the boat, another is ALL scuba equipment. The latter is somewhat cramped.

Neither does yours since you let all the gas out. :smt064 Sounds like the mad scientist workshop is the only garage with beer. :naka:

I'm not out of gas, yet... I keep the valve shut unless I'm getting beer. This weekend I'm finding the leak and then I'll leave it on. Tomorrow, Baby Sounder and I are picking up fresh back-gas and beer-gas.

But no, I will never have a mad scientist workshop like you and Ben have... never. I have a garage with heat, tunes, and Mac's on tap to rinse & store my gear. For this summer's project, I'm taking a page out of Ron's book - I'm bringing hot-water into the gear rinsing area.

You rinse your gear with Mac's? And I thought I was spoiling my gear with the warm water rinse.....

It's really not for the gear, but for me... some people put salt in their beer, but I just soak my gear in it instead. Neoprene, O2, and saltwater do amazing things for the already superior brew.

Wow! I wonder if Diver Dave would care to tally up his tanks.
I bet he actually has no idea of how many tanks he has.
Once I heard him say 80 tanks, but I think that might be a little exaterated. :dontknow:
I know I enjoyed diving his LP 108's when I was up there! (I think he bought them from JR).
Made my little hp100's feel like a pony bottle when I got back home.
