Matt - Just break down and buy a dry suit already

Drysuit is a ways out for me! Even more so with this economy, anyone hiring?
I do fine wet until I rack up more than 10 minutes of deco, then I get cold. Doing 20 minutes of deco really really sucks though. I have a hoodvest, it makes a big difference, but I rarely use it

I seem to recall hearing that somebody has even given bugman a dry suit.

LOL, yeah, I need to size it up, make sure it fits, and start getting seals and valves replaced.

Yes I thought I caught a glimmer rather than a shimmer in your eye when TecGirl and Bamamedic hit ABWA in their bikinis while you looked like you were fixing to go feed the polar bears in all the layers you had on.
I was surprised to see the duckweed on P1 & P3 also. Forrest said he'd seen it before, but that it had been a very long time. Any plant scientists on here? Perhaps the flooding introduced higher levels of nitrates, and now that the water levels are back down, the duckweed was able to gain a foothold. From what I've read, it needs both nitrates and still water to spread. Very curious!

I'm no plant expert...
...but I've stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
That being said, I'm guessing(totally no scientific basis to back this up) that when the water levels pick up and flow increases in P1, it'll be able to move onto P2 and P3. Right now, there's nowhere for the duckweed to go.
