I might go if the weather warms up a little. It's still too cold for me & my 7-mil suit.

Brian,
There's a chance I'll be there Sunday. I might have an AOW student "making up" a May dive weekend he has to miss. He'll be doing an "observation and data collection" dive if you want to try to help him figure out the sex of the trout in the quarry. I'll have to get back relatively early though, have to be at work at 10pm.

I see one flaw....no mention of cold beer....I guess that can be my department.

I hesitate to mention this to you, but I have plans underway to bring a 5 gal 'corney' keg of Black Forest Brewing Company Maple Porter beer to the get-together on 16-18 April. I will be taking "free will donations" to offset the considerable cost of getting this brew from the brewmaster at Black Forest. So the question is, how does beer on tap sound to you????

So, indeed, beer is MY department... A 5 gallon keg contains 40, 16oz glasses of beer....

Well that takes care of Big-T but what about the rest of us?

I should have a case of my favorite beer with me and as two or three a day is heavy drinking for me (especially with diving involved), that leaves plenty left over.

Ber, that sounds fine to me. When I stay at the quarry, I treat it as my version of a live-aboard. I typically do about four dives a day. But, I won't be of much help with fish ID, LOL. I know more about bows, sterns, masts, and galleys (especially galleys with my appetite).

I'll let you know if he's coming along then, I probably won't know until closer to the date. At least he let me know early that he needed to miss a class, I was hoping this would just be a fun weekend for me though. We can work on fish ID together, I can identify the trout they're the ones who grab you by the neck and demand to be fed! Trying to figure out if they're boys or girls is something new for me Heck, I might try it even if I don't bring the student!

Sounds tasty.

Only thing is I have to be back Sat. Evening...so more than a pint or two is not in order for me.

Ber - if your student ends up not making it Sunday, there's a chance I could talked into breaking away on any given weekend in May or June to help him make the dives up if you're unavailable.

BTW...when do I need to get physics for divers 101 prepared by...I promise to leave out the calculus?

 

[Ber Rabbit]

Hey T, how about week 2 for physics 101. I don't want you scaring them off too early :biggrin:

And that would be April 10th?

 

[Groundhog246]

Can I ask if any of you who dive Gilboa regularly would have any idea what water temps would be around then (April 17)? If you dove about the same date last year and logged it that would be info enough (especially since around here it's warming up sooner and faster than last spring). There's a couple of us around here that are itching to get wet and the local quarries are still ice covered.

Thanks
