Giving up your lurker status?! :mooner:

Yep...being a lurker's not fun!! I want to be deep down and dirty with the crew...HA!

 

[bugtif]

especially really drunk ones trying to start a bonfire with wet wood and a bic lighter. not even mcguiver could have pulled that one off.

Hey but at least I got to try and burn a picnic table...HA

 

[bugtif]

She was scared of all the things flightlead was telling her about people on the board, Until she met some of us. Well, Now she is probably even more scared.

Clay not scared excited to get to hang with you guys!! Okay so if I do this tell your wife she has to do it to. If I can dive she can....tell her at least she has to join for the crazy parties....we have to keep these going....and not wait till next year. I'm always ready for a weekend get away!

How about we start a Vorprilfest? That would be 6 months from now. Vormayfest does not sound right.

I bet The K. meister would start the thread before mike_s

We probably need to get Shanes permission to do this more than 1 time a year.

No big deal that you replied 4 times in a row, but I thought you might have not know about that feature (since you're new) and might want to use it as it's a little more streamlines way to reply.

heh... you funny!

that's been talked about before and I think it's a good idea.

Might want to choose a weekend with decent high tides (at diveable times). but for April, none of the weekends are 'bad' but a couple of late afternoon tides that might conflict with beer drinking and grilling!

I prefer the weekends with the earlier high tides. 5th/6th or 19th/20th. Like you said, Those afternoon high tides will be in the way of the festivities. Someone make a suggestion.

 

[denisegg]

How about after April 15th?


And someone should start a planning thread on it!! I would love to go!!
And how about an appropriate name like "Vortex in the Spring" or "Vortex Spring Fest", etc....

 

[RocketMan]

19th-20th looks go for me
