June sometime Nathan's Hotdogs
After leaving the lounge at lga with 10 minutes to boarding i decided to enjoy a lovely nathans hotdog. I grabbed it, mustard and ketchup and headed to the gate where to my surprise we were already boarding. I resisted the urge to skip to the front and take advantage of my first class priority and waited my turn, only to find myself at the wrong gate.
May 31, 2006 San Diego fishing
Well no diving in San Diego but did go fishing in the ocean. Apparently the best day of the year for the boat we were on, caught something like 250 fish over 20 people. I caught 1, after about 2 hours, ej got 2. Others had extra so we got lots of sandbass.
May 15, 2006 Slaw Dog to go
Dive 1 67 feet, 34 minutes 200 feet penetration. Today followed the class (Jim & Bob). They practiced Lost diver in the pothole tunnel. Jim clouded things up nicely, i just practiced bouyancy and watched.
Dive 2 40 feet, 42 minutes 500 feet penetration. 12 minute surface interval. We went up the peanut tunnel to the breakdown room. At that point i turned while jim and bob did light failure and air share exit. It is always a bit nerve wracking being solo while cave diving but i quickly returned to the cavern zone. Enroute i found my 1st backup light was very weak, either low batteries or it's pencil beam. I hung out at the edge of the cavern zone covering my light while i watched their lights bouncing on their return.
There next dive was the "final" test at Cow spring after lunch. I chose to pass on tailing that dive and instead got a 6 pack of heineken, a slaw dog and a bacon egg cheese roll. Jim was disgusted as usual. Their dives went fine. We hit ruby tuesdays again, where i wanted a french dip which they did not have. At night we got the movie Munich, which i slept through, AND the tv would not go above 15 so you couldnt here s**t anyway. And it was too small to read the subtitles. The next day we drove back to the airport, stopped at st augustine for a minute. Jim complained about my driving the whole way.
