bluemagoo:Thinking of me!? Flattering but maybe you need to get a life.
.Haven't touched my stuff for well over a year now. My SPG blew way outside Firehouse and it was a long swim in, worrying if my 1st stage also got drowned. Got it all fixed up. Or so I thought. Then while on another dive, this former Old Faithful (20yrs) began making a comment on my character by hissing like crazy. I took the hint and packed it up. Plus there's the new house, new job, new big project, traveling -- but same wife
Now I'm just swimming for exercise and trying to build-up my breath-hold times. I try to be regular doing a lap at Ala Mo's on weekend mornings; around 9-ish for an hour or so. Look for a guy floundering in mid-channel, wearing a long-sleeve rash guard, black Xcel surfing skull cap w/bill, and small red waistbag. If not doing a lap, I'll be duck-diving on the Magic Island end. Hey, people think Ala Mo's is a wasteland but there's some big outcroppings with a fair supply of life: threadfin and raccoon butterflys, tons of Dominos, small schools of papio, groups of Moorish Idols, morays including the pretty snowflake variety, takos, banded coral shrimp, and two resident turtles that always scare the crap outta me when they suddenly explode off the murky bottom.
