True, true. Now that I think about it everything can hurt you. I think I'm going to do something else with my time and money. Maybe skydiving. JB

I DIY more than most, so, I get it. I take it my point is lost on you too? Remember, space travel started out as DIY. JB

You're absolutely right. Eels are on my list now too. JB

Thanks for dropping by Tobin. Very interesting posts. Rob, well in that case, don't let your car know about the diving DIY list... It seems to me that there might be more friction between the cordura and rubber than the cordura and urethane. Thanks, JB

Yeah, I think spear fishermen are most at risk of catching the wrath, carrying their catch and all. JB

Don't forget Indiana. Lot's of great diving there. JB

I have no experience with them. But any time I hear "triggerfish" I think of the chapter discussing them in Fontova's Helldiver's Rodeo and pray I never have the pleasure of being acquainted. BTW, Fontova didn't have any real advice either, aside from pinching up your lips, covering your...

FatRob, That is an amazing work list. Is this list integrated with your wife's list of things for you to be doing or is it a secret list? Well, I'm impressed, not necessarily with the difficulty of your projects but more with the quantity of them. The light can is a fun one. And I'm...

Fatrob, again, I get that it's possible. But I notice that only one of the three people who are taking such mighty umbrage to my suggestion that it's dangerous to be espousing that the "mildly talented" can make "perfectly good reg[s]" is actually making anything for themselves at all (very...

I notice you've changed your choice of words from "computer" to "timing device." If you mean a watch and a computer when you say "two computers," then yes, I agree. While I always dive with a watch, I only sometimes have a computer. Also, for the sake of argument, if my watch ever...

That's three brains by my count. I guess it's not a bad impulse but beware of the line separating redundant and unnecessary. I think, if you know your tables well, one good computer is more than sufficient. JB

This is a hot topic today: http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=135727 Sounds crazy but the best shears I ever had (and lost, naturally) were a pair of upscale garden shears. Loved'em. JB

2d. Not ready. JB

Greenpeace is most definitely not recognized as a terrorist outfit by the U.S. gov't. However, many of its members and internal sects are closely monitored by the FBI. Some of this is due to relatively high rates of cross-over enrollment between Greenpeace and more extremist outfits such...

All of you should be ASHAMED!!! After all that work your parents did civilizing you... Just shameful. I, on the other hand, was raised by wolves. :) JB

Flyinghuntster, often the reason you don't hear about the "quo" part of the "quid pro quo" is that it wouldn't be such a lame duck story in SA. In fact, helping the US is some capacity can really burn certain royalty and agencies in SA. So, the details of the "quo" are often buried...

I wasn't able to find any threads directly dealing with this, if I missed it just throw it up here to avoid a rehash. 1.) What should you look for in spotting LP hose too aged to trust? Is there a certain kind of wear indicative of hose deterioration? 2.) What should you look for in...

At least see the comedy in putting those two sentences that close together. :) JB

Take the Conshelf v. Legend. The answers to which one breathes better and which one is less likely to break are different. I get that this opinion doesn't bode well for sales but remember, it's just my opinion. JB

True, but some of the older stuff is more durable and simple (less of Murphy's Law to go around), which is good. JB What were we talking about again... :)
