I only ask one thing.... IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, IF 'MATERS AREN'T IN SEASON, USE CANNED WHOLE ONES!!!! This message brought to you by the Commitee to Stop Bland 'Maters.

Not that I suggest you do slap your Grandma. If any of ya'll's was like mine, she'd throw a cast iron skillet at me if I did. And not the little 8" one. The BIG 20". Sure wish she was still around to do it. I could go for some Chicken and Dumplings....:116:

Ah pork. If there is a more perfect meat on the planet, I don't want to know about it. If you are talking THICK porkchops then I suggest my much renowned "War Between the States Grilled, Stuffed Chops." Thick porkchop stuffed with a cornbread stuffing with Washington Granny Smiths and...

MSIE at work, Mozilla at home. Been using Mo in one form or another back when it was the only GUI browser. You know, back in the days when Yahoo! was the bottom rung of the search engine wars behind Webcrawler. Mo is vastly superior to MSIE. Faster, more stable, and tabbed browsing. I can...

What did your "pool rig" consist of?

S&W has a special going right now: 1. $99 (plus shipping) for a Stainless Steel plate and 1 pieces STA 2. Aluminum plate with a two piece STA for $69.99 plus shipping 3. Harness kits for $44.99 Not bad all things considered.

Was wondering if anyone has tied a bunch of weights to their Venture Wing to see exactly what the lift is. The 30+ statement on DR's website is one of those "things make you go hmm." Just how much is "+" anyway?

Well, everyone and their mother are going to tell you to get a backplate and wings, so I'll beat them to the punch..... Get a backplate and wings!!!!! It's the only real BC that will grow with your diving needs.

OK, after reading hundreds of pages on info regarding the various thoughts regarding a BP/W setup here's where I'm leaning: S&W Hammerhead II backplate DIY Harness (everything from Reefscuba.com) Abyss Rec2Tec 45# wing I've figured I can get the entire set up for right at $350 including...

Check out http://www.ukrecscuba.org.uk/ukdiver/harness/index.html. I've been nearly obsessive in my research into putting together my own BP/wing set up. It's an interesting approach to a "pseudo" quick release system. May do it myself since I don't give a rats booty about DIR diving and like...

Check with Abysmal Scuba at www.abyss.biz. Lots of wing options with two lower pulls.

Thank you Jambi! The word of the day is horseradish.

Found out that Abyss does make a wing for singles, the Rec2Tec Wing, anyone have any experiences with it?

I'm wondering if any of ya'll out there have dove an Abyss wing with a single tank. I understand that there is a chance that the wing will taco around the tank. How much of a problem is that and is there a way to overcome it? I dove someone's Dive Rite rig once apon a time and had that happen to...

What about a 45# Abyss wing? Suitable for singles?

I greatly appreciate all the info all of you have posted. I think I've offically given into the darkside and am going to go with a bp/wing set up. However my head is swimming. To those of you that have provided links I am in your debt. Now if only everyone else who've said they got this here and...

What's this I hear about cam bands?

I've been reading this board for some time now, and since Uncky Sam has seen it in his good graces to let me have some of my hard earned money back, I've decided it's time to buy my own rig. Having read this board I've narrowed my choices down considerably to several different back inflated BCs...

What I am looking for is people who have actually dove this BC and their opinion of it. Love it or hate it and why. The DIR thing came up because I have noticed that nearly every post about BC's on this board turns into a sermon on how the particular piece of equipment isn't DIR and is...

What i'm looking for is some honest, no BS opinions on the Mares Jubilee BC. What I am not looking for is the DIR faithful to come crawling out of the woodwork to tell how wrong and how evil my choice of BC is. I am not looking to get into the tech arena for quite some time. I have no need or...
