Okay, I'm taking the plunge

Post by dsteding »

After much thought (mostly driven by the desire to go deeper, and the logistics of expeditions up north) I've decided to go CCR.

I'm thinking mCCR, but I don't know much yet. Probably a Meg or a rEvo? I'd love some feedback from those that know things.

Yeah. Sorry, I didn't even realize it was April 1st. I've been busy.

Funny dickhead. It's pretty heavily used. I'm going to keep my smaller steels as bailout bottles, I am thinking the HP100s will be perfect for that.

Really bud, is this the best you could do for 4/1? My 8mo did better than this - he peed on me this morning.
