Hey everybody! I have something that I need to get off my chest. I haven't even told my own family about this but I need to tell someone. Since you guys are all like family to me I thought I would at least tell you. Maybe then I can work up enough courage to tell the rest of my family. I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news but it sure has headed my life into a completely new direction. One that I never thought about.

I got a phone call the other day from a woman that was...I guess you could say a VERY close friend. Since I couldn't pronounce her German name I always called her Ms. Maggie. Our lives went in different directions and I haven't seen her for some time. We never really had a serious relation but things had been known to happen. Well, it seems that a set of twin boys happened and she is just now telling me.
Of course the first thing that went through my mind was that they just weren't mine. There was just no possible way!! I met up with her the other night and she brought pictures of the boys. Well, take a look for yourself. After looking at the pictures there was just no possible way that these boys can't be mine. Their names are Hanz and Franz. Hanz is on the left.

An interesting story about how they got their names. Maggie and I use to watch a lot of Saturday Night Live together and always laughed at the Hanz and Franz body builder guys. You know, the ones that always were there "to pump you up". Yep, since she is German and we liked that skit they became Hanz and Franz.

My head is still spinning not knowing what to do but I do know that I will take care of the boys. If things work out right I will bring them with me for the Labor Day dives.

Thanks everybody for allowing me to share this with you. I feel better know :D
 
Congrats Wally!!!!

Those are some great looking children! TG you two were not Beavis and Butt Head fans!

Message from Mom,

(((((Hay Wally,))))))
This is momma and reading your confession is breaking my heart!!! Almost to tears… But being the loving and understanding mom I am,
I’m very proud to have Hanz and Franz as my grand sons. And I know you will be a loving and caring father and you will care for their every need as long as your work comes first so you can take very good care of the boys.
Well I will talk to you later. And thank you for posting there pictures they are beautiful and look so much like my little boy Wally.
P.S.
Because you have to work so hard now to take care of them and can not take them diving until they are a little older anyway~~~ Just fill up the tub and hold them both under at the same time until all the little bubbles disappear. That will get them used to the water, and then make sure you dry them off good and then dampen a MR. clean sponge and that will polish them real good.

Hanz and Franz ~~~~Loving Grandma

Well it looks like KY grandma and grandpa are happy. :D
Mr. Clean sponge...hmmm never thought about that.
I know those boys are going to be a handful but I am sure that all will go well. I just hope that I have time to spend with them and not work like I have this year. Of course kids aren't cheap.
 
Congratulation, Wally.

Finally, you can take off some weight.... :)

What is your kid's lung capacity?
 
Worthington LP85. I got my own boys since you kept threatening to let me borrow yours. :D These kids I don't mind keeping.

I thought about going bigger but in the 50 dives that I have done I have never needed a bigger tank, I mean boy. Went with the LP so I don't have to fight for a full fill.
28 more work days and the concrete is done. A few more days after that and the project should be complete. The boys and I are diving!!
 
I was speechless and trying to imagine what it would feel like, until I got up the nerve to look at your pics.

Even though I let you use my steel tank, you never use my tanks.... LOL~~

Wally, you made a wise decision on your tank. It isn't esay to get the right fill.
LP is much easier to get a fill anywhere without harassing the compressor.
In addition, you can double up LP85 later. It will be a great double set...
 
tstormwarning:
You'd better take good care of them both! & enjoy them for a long time to come. For now, personally, I'll stick to my puny little AL63's. Maybe I'll eventually learn enogh breathing control to make them last longer.

Gotta couple of AL80's that I will be selling if you are interested. Just had the VIP in May and if I am thinking right the hydro is good for another two years.

Hehehe...I at least got one person. ..well, one that was willing to admit it.

Don't know if I will ever double the 85's but that is an idea. In fact when I ordered them the LDS wanted to know if I wanted a manifold.
