    My first ear issue

    Swimmer's Ear comes in a dropper. You just follow the directions on the packaging. I'm sorry for your ear trouble. I've had my fair share. Just be sure to finish your antibiotics even if you feel better. It may take a week to clear up completely.

    An alternative to shears?

    I am curious about this too. Someone was asking about cutting kevlar microfilament on another board and I suggested ceramic, since it worked in the lab: See me cutting kevlar mesh with ceramic scissors here: http://www.planetfall.com/gallery/nasa-stuff/IMG_1244

    Do you think fins could exacerbate a knee problem?

    Kicking with fins makes my wonky ankle hurt a bit...don't laugh at my badminton injury.

    BC choices: Zeagle Stiletto v. Zena

    I was v. busy yesterday and Jeff was kind enough to update this thread. I have to make a correction, though. The Zena fit fairly well after I installed the large straps with the medium vest and large back (so it would hit lower with the hip straps at my actual hips). The problem is that there...

    Does One Exist?

    I had an opportunity to cut away at some Kevlar in a lab. The ceramic scissors worked best. I'm wondering if there is a (plan) for a Z-knife with a ceramic blade or ceramic shears??

    Word from Jeanie on our Nov 26-Dec 3 trip: "I really think our hotel will be back ready for you to come - 6 divemasters went out today and found the reef have definitely changed - they all were dropped in different places and surveyed a different reef or sections of reefs. They found so...

    Funny thing is that I work as a contractor at NASA and we really have TPS reports - I just don't file any. :)

    Return to positive: Anyone else going Nov. 26-Dec. 3 to Coz?

    I am very excited that it seems like we'll be able to keep our plans. I am fatigued by repair talk. I'm returning to my pre-hurricane status of a happy theme: "Woohoo, Vacation!" Only two more weeks of cranking out reports and I will be near the water. Anyone else planning to be in Coz Nov...

    TMJ issue

    My dental office thinks the seacure or other molded mouthpiece is a good solution for the tmj diver (my hygenist is a diver - go figure). Just a couple of deviations from the instructions for me: 1) I had to mold the mouthpiece upside down from the recommended configuration for my bite due to...

    Made my seacure better...

    I did this too, but it didn't completely fix the problem. Now, with the upside down configuration and the specialized removal of material, I think I'm good.

    Made my seacure better...

    I was having some trouble with my seacure (and other mouthpieces) b/c they would rub my lower gum where the roots make the gum protrude a bit. I got the mouthpiece molded as well as I could, but it still rubbed a little. I took it to the dentist today to see what he could do. He fixed me...
