Dont extend him too much credit, he has just bought some gear and more to come from what i hear - might be short to pay you back!

Actually i take this back, Andy has started up his own little LDS on the gear sales forum, a bit of this, a bit of that, no wonder you are going to afford all this new gear, you are selling enough to outfit an OW class there!

Feel like selling a new HID light or some reels or an AL BP to a deserving cause??? I mean you must be getting wholesale discounts now from the manufacturers - so pass on those savings!!

er... well, now that you mention it, i have this used P-valve and accoutremonts for
sale, real cheap, if a little discoloured... nothing some bleach cant' fix

Is that like a J, K, Y or H valve??? Who thought about all this and decided to name everything as a single letter - there are only 26 of them, why not just call them a single name like reserve, regular, redundant - all R's of course just to confuse anyone used to the letter system, then we can have all air systems under A, bc/bp/wings under B, lights under L, spools/reels under S, masks M, fins F, weight systems W, tanks T, i am sure there are others, but i am getting bored of that game now......

I didnt realize you had a drysuit, is that for sale also - i didnt see it on the gear sale forum. I thought that would really help put together the cash for your new stuff. Personally i am trying to second guess myself and what i will need and hopefully not buy again after an initial "entry" purchase - see how well that idea works wont we

Not knowing if you are serious about this, but I thikn the p-valve is called the 'P' valve cuz its for pee, as in urine.

 

[H2Andy]

oh ewwww gross

It was a joke, i understand what the P valve's purpose is. I was just joking about the various other valves which i thought came from their listing in a 50'60's catalogue (way before most of us were born who are reading this thread) and how weird that naming was. When you have to explain a joke in minute detail, it obviously wasnt funny......

No Andy's P valve is all his own, i think he just has to buy the drysuit to go with it. Maybe if he sells enough gear he can get one - and i thought lawyers made the big bucks (or is that mechanics?)

Andy,

are you free on sunday to dive at Blue? If you recall i suggested in our PM's that there was a slight chance that we would attempt some dives out of Jupiter on saturday morning on our way back up from Boynton (from friday's dives), this looks a reasonable possibility now and we wouldnt be getting back to Orlando til later in the afternoon. Sunday i am free to get up there around 1-1.30pm, so if that works with you we can do that instead - you still get time to work on your stuff, i get more dives in generally and i will still bring 3 full tanks with me. What do you say?

 

[H2Andy]

sure, let me see if the scuba store has tanks for Sunday...

oops... that doesn't work. they are not open on Sundays

 

[simbrooks]

So is that a no go for sunday diving? I will see how sure saturday morning is going to be before deciding one way or the other. Can you pick up on saturday, i would think however that it would be a way to drive to pick anything up unless you were diving on saturday.

 

[H2Andy]

yeah, that's quite the drive...hmmm... i think i shall put out an APB for a buddy
just in case you can't make it on Saturday
