For the rest of us

[Tractor Tom]

This little cold water get-together of yours sounds like a lot of fun. I have to admit that I miss those weekends at Gilboa, more for the folks than for the diving (Tractor Tom has SEEN Gilboa). I'll be suffering along with my next dive outing at Key Largo and the Spiegle Grove on the weekend of 12 May, in the warm clear waters of the Florida Keys. Not at all like suiting up for a step off that platform at Gilboa in April, but good diving never-the-less.

Just by the by, Tractor Tom is no longer a tractor man, but working on one of the larger ranches in the US (the 337,000 acre Lykes Brothers Ranch) in Brighton, Florida as a mechanic/welder who gets NO real vacation this year to speak of and has to sneak away on the odd weekend to get in a little diving.

Miss you guys...

My apologies but I'm going to have to bail out on the "For the rest of us" M&G weekend. I have really been looking forward to getting together with you guys/gal, but we've had some things come up in the family that are going to require me to be available next weekend.

Ted ... thanks for saving me a spot in the bunkhouse.

Dave, Paula, Ken and anyone else who was going to be able to make it ... sorry I won't be able to join you.

Hi Tom, nice to see you stick your nose back into our winter wonderland. We thought it was April .... April Fool's!!! It is still January here.

Enjoy your dives in the Keys. We will go see if there is a small section of mud we have seen less than 20 times in Gilboa .... again.

Hoosier, that is tuff.... but ya gotta take care of family first right!
Hopefully we can all meet up again later in the year.


We may be down to just a few, the proud, the It's Still Winter divers.

I was hoping to swing it for one or the other weekend. Looks like the "for the rest of us" weekend is out. I'll be home on Thursday and down in Texas for the weekend. I'm a cold wimp anyway so I guess it's just as well! Hope y'all have fun!

I'm not going to make it either. I'm still in Pennsylvania helping out with my grandparents.
