Yes, it was special...ya know, black balloons and all! :D Me and OE2X had a great time celebrating with friends and the best part is..........(drum roll please).....we FINALLY moved into the house that has taken a year to build, five years off our life, and totally took away any time for...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :fro:

Heather, If you don't make it out to the coast during the holidays there are some quarries you can dive if you're just dying to get wet. :) There is also a great group of local divers in NC you can hook up with in the Charlotte, Raleigh and coastal area. I hope the weather is spectacular...

Leah, I can't wait to read these reports. As Kraken said this will surely be a "hoot!" My parents have two ponds on their farm and I have most definitely stood on the pier of one contemplating diving it. I thought I was one of the few kooky, dive crazed females to think about diving a pond. :D

I've already read Krakauer's and thinking about reading his other two. I haven't read the wilderness one yet. I'm interested in climbing but not the big mountains. :D The obsession and dedication that mountaineers show toward their sport reminds me of the same for some in diving. Anyway, it...

Right now I'm reading: No Shortcuts To The Top by Ed Viesturs The Valley of the Assassins by Freya Stark Passionate Nomad, The Life of Freya Stark by Jane Geniesse and lately I've been re-reading parts of the NOAA manual. I tend to keep more than one book going at a time.

Classic movie. I call my computer HAL. Except it hasn't gone psycho yet.

I thought Naked Lunch was quite fascinating. Weird but fascinating. Oh, and has anyone said Blade Runner. That's a great movie.

Oh, come on Howarde, you know you are now just a mod in stealth mode. Don't go telling your friends any different. :D Okay, okay, everyone can relax. He is really one of the ad reps.. .........................maybe. ;)

Great report and thanks for posting it! OE2X called me on his way home and said he had a great time. I knew diving with you and Peter would be a wonderful way for him to unwind from the week. I sure hope the viz is a lot better by the time I arrive. Sounds like our quarry dives. Too bad you...

I've already talked to Ken about this since we're friends and he just soo appreciates my .02. ;) I'm sure he'll repay me later. My first thought was you don't do this skill, donning and replacing rig, without your buddy nearby and paying close attention to what you are doing. I didn't think...

This sounds like a great event and going to a good cause. Good luck and I hope you all raise a bunch of money for the children's charity. :D Mel

Great photos! Where were you diving?

Welcome Capt. Gary! I had the pleasure of meeting you and Rosa at Beneath The Sea in 2006, and also sampling Rosa's punch. :D Glad to see you two joining Scubaboard! Mel

Is this the one regarding letting detainees use a cell phone and he had relations with a detainee's daughter? I was wondering how many times did he let detainee(s) use a phone? Was it once or a few times?

You do like to rub it in! ;) Five dives in three days?! I'm jealous, and I bet they weren't in a dingy quarry either. :D J, thanks for keeping us updated. It is good to hear that you're okay. Do you have time, or even want, to do any sketching while you're over there? That is something...

I contacted my son's 3rd grade teacher this week and they will be writing letters to Joe and another friend in my dive group who is stationed in Afghanistan. So Joe, watch out for letters from Mrs. Blee's class in Charlotte, NC. :D They are for you and your buddies.

LOL! Good one MissD. :D Marci, he is a doll. I'm glad he is doing well. It looks like he is a blonde, am I right? What is it with us redheads having blonde babies??? :D He is still a cutie and I can't wait until he gets to come home. Hope it is soon.

I missed this one! Always late to the party. :D Happy Birthday FW!!! I hope it was a good one!

J, it is good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends. Keep us posted on what's going on, plus it lets us know you're okay. :D
