    Just went back and looked at a pic from an 02 Cleaning workshop in Ohio where we met in 2004. RIP Tim... your energy and enthusiasm will be missed. Condolences to Terri, friends and family.

    2010 Fitness Exercise Challenge!!

    Just goes to show you, exercise, while essential for maintaining or gaining fitness, is of much less importance to fat loss than good eating habits. The formula is simple, really, but the discipline is difficult indeed.Consumed Calories < Burned Calories = Fat Loss (not to be confused with...

    2010 Fitness Exercise Challenge!!

    My brother did a paper as part of his PhD about the Adkins diet. One point he made was that the Adkins has a purpose, but many try to use it beyond it's intended initial phase and fail to move on to the maintenance phase.

    2010 Fitness Exercise Challenge!!

    With P90X, CrossFit, or whatever flavor you practice, if you're coming off a sedentary lifestyle, then you need to start slow. Our muscles adapt much faster than our ligaments and joints. The next thing you know you're experience overuse injuries and aches. Get started, but Start Smart and be...

    Latex Dryhoods

    I had a DUI latex hood circa 2000, but it ripped on the first pool trial (no... I didn't trim it). The replacement only lasted two weeks. After getting no satisfaction from the mfg, I went with a Mares wet hood and it's worked great for even the coldest of Great Lakes dives. The only way I'd...

    Suggestion "I agree" to replace "Thanks"

    I tend to use the Thanks button similar to the Facebook "Like" button.

    2010 Fitness Exercise Challenge!!

    Because gaining a few pounds every year and ceasing any meaningful exercise has become the [twisted] norm and going with the cultural flow is the easiest thing to do. Our mindset is so fixed on this, that many can't conceive that loosing weight or getting active is a healthy choice.... this...

    Thought about Cave Diving?

    For the most part, I find cave diving to be the most peaceful and serene diving that I do.... but it is also the only dive activity/environment where I've lost friends. It's gives me "pause" when my head isn't in the game because its not an activity you do on autopilot.

    What could have happened?

    That's a real tragedy that something that should only be an inconvenience ends up costing two people their lives. So much had to have gone wrong and been ignored, letting tunnel-vision set in to breath your last breath trying to get a damned tank back in your rig. Just hold the tank and buddy...

    What could have happened?

    If I could count the times I've had to ride someone mid-water on a warm water trip to push their tank back in their BC straps. ...and usually they are annoyed 'cause they don't know what's going on or what the "stop" or "hold" signals mean.

    Dealing with the pigheaded

    If the OP thinks Steve is "dressing people down", it sounds like the OP missed the GI3 era. LOL Over the years Steve seems to have taken the "kindler, gentler" approach to instruction and advice. However, getting older does tend to make one cut through the PC-BS and just tell it like it is...

    Hot Shower after dive...

    Wouldn't a person need to really be pushing their limits or ascending too quickly for this to be an issue? I recall it being stated several years ago that if you did your ascents properly, you should be able to run a marathon when you're done diving.... I'm guessing at that point a hot shower...

    what was the hardest in fundies to learn?

    Staying neutral at depth while multitasking... or staying neutral without a mask while your buddy is trying to blow a bag and use touch contact to signal up/down to you. Essentially... the taskloading... each skill in isolation is easily doable. Combined with other skills and the x-factor...

    2010 Fitness Exercise Challenge!!

    I see some of you are doing "weight-related" goals. While I could stand to loose a few pounds around my gut, instead my "goal" to find ways to stay "functionally active" several days per week. It keeps my endorphs up and helps me to feel better doing renovation work around the house... I'm...
