Yup, I'm a SW geek.

Darth or Luke? I've always been drawn to the dark side myself.....

Congrats on 15 years RosAnne!

I'm an Obi-Wan guy myself. If I had to pick the dark side, it's got to be Darth.

Congratulations RosAnne!

Bette, I had to do something today at work - hence the absence of posting. Have an executive board of trustees meeting tomorrow to prepare and will be away from by BT buddies most of the day.

Later

Later Baby Critter Mom :-))))))))

Thanks Brad. Obi-Wan was way cool!

Yeah that's one of those Golden Oldies RosAnne :-))))))))

SW................O, I get it :-))))))))

My be chewbacka :-))))))))))

haorrrrrr haorrrrrrrrrrrr Does that sound a bit like him?

That sounds just like him Bette
We have a raccoon that terrorizes our pool toys at night and we have named him Chewbacca because he chews up or leaves teeth marks in anything he finds.

Hi hi, nice to be associated with a racoon :-))))))))))))

Sounds a bit like our little lady (cat). She likes to chew on my flip-flops :-)))))))))

Here she is.

Chewbacca's latest victims

RosAnne, your raccoon needs to take lessons from our raccoons, who show up and timidly finish off the bowl of cat food on the deck, then take naps on the lawn furniture. Just three of them, who have been coming since they were babies.

Sometimes, if
the bowl is empty when they get here, they stand up and peer in my office window to see if I might have a little more(Please, Sir...may I have some more?).

Congrats on 15 YEARS, RosAnne!!
Maybe you'll get some new toys and flops today!!

I am attempting to set my studio back up in this house again...WHAT A MESS!!! I just can't have George come home to this again tonite. I'm not that mean!! Honest

CB, this guy is huge, I went out on the deck one night and he was peering at me from the roof and looked to be about the size of a very fat, full grown cat! He's scary.

RosAnne even when I lived in the City, we had hem...cleaned out my Koi pond overnight when they found it.

PS, I haven't been keeping up with current events....are you working out of home now? I'm peeved if I missed my chances to see your shop!

Barbara, yes, we moved everything here this weekend. So, now I have to try to find my home again...it's here somewhere!! I'm hoping to get everything online very soon...but not sure when yet...

It should all be good now...I just hung some beautiful jade "Good Karma" w/ a very pink "Good Luck" Bubbles right over my easel and drawing desk!!!

PS, I keep wanting to tell you about this guy:

http://stevevaughn.com/

I like his work. I bought my first print of his from an overpriced boutique in Moro Bay, Ca., then was PEEVED(read pi**ed) to see that his stuff was so affordable online.

If I'm not mistaken, he's not far from you. I know your medium is different, but he has a business format that is quite successful...check him out!

Rosanne, congrats! Michael's and my 14th is coming up, and we've been together 15....hmmm...maybe that's why we all like each other so much?

Are those your GLUTT workout flip flops? lol. Them are some big toofies!

CB, cute on the little one's...hmm...earth mama


Hi to all else...by the time I post this, you all will have posted a gazillion more and I won't be able to catch up...lol...

That says he's in Winter Park, that's not far at all. I think there's some of his work in a gallery downtown...not sure, if not, someone copied him with the shutters... I know I've seen some of those pics before. Thanks for the link.

Good afternoon all! Thanks for welcoming me. Thanks to Timmy I now have training wheels on my bike. I knew I couldn't ride a bike that had only two wheels. I don't keep enough 'band-aids' in the house for a trick like that! This is the first chance I've had to even turn this computer on. Good for you Pegi, get that studio set up so you can paint again. Why did you try to be 'me'? Did you forget who you were for a spell? I do those things, you are much to young to be so forgetful.

Ok, now I'v looked at the Vaughn prints, am pining for some aqua ocean. But it's time for work.

Bye, guys. Turn some pages for me ...

OMG...you guys are on a roll. Rosanne congrats! Our two permanent raccoons weight 25-30 pounds each. Another rescue group has even larger permanents. They normally don't get that big in the wild.

So dive 225 was great! It turned out to be Alice in Wonderland because a young couple was having a romantic morning at Angel City, so I left them alone.

Dive 226 never happened. I went up to Andrea II and geared up and my computer died. Brand new battery, only 8 dives. UGH! Off to see Bruce, new battery. Off to Windsock. Serious o-ring leak. I'm out of o-rings because I have had to replace so many this trip. I get out of the water go pick up two fresh tanks and head to Bachelor's Beach. Oh yea...smashed my pinky finger picking up the new tanks. Any way, got all geared up ready to go in at BB and notice that my fin strap isn't connected. Very odd, I always reconnect them while exiting the water. Well guess what? While I was struggling with the o-ring leak at Windsock, the connector part of my fin strap fell off in the water. Back to Windsock - YES I DID FIND IT!!!!! However, I decided that this was some type of sign and I am now eating lunch. I'm going to try a dive later today. Don't want to tempt fate.

Hey Mommy!!!
I changed your profile pic last nite, but now I want it back like it was. Anyway, that made it so I couldn't post as "me" just as "you"...
That's what I get for using "powers" that I shouldn't have...

Sorry for the late pic post but I was .......er.........held up by...............my little man (back from school and wanted to have icecream) :-))))))))

Ow Tribs, man, it feels like a good call to stay away from there.

Tribs, you are just having a day!! I think I would've sat that one out too... When does Wes get down there??? I mean, if I can't be there with you, you may as well have Wes!!!

Hi hi RosAnne, that's a cool piece of art, your Chewbacca made :-))))))))))))

Wes doesn't arrive until June 25. However, I have my lovely friend Bette.

LOL Tribs, no luck in play but all in lOVE, right!!!

Pegi, PLEASE get me OFF the bike! It has the most uncomfortable seat. Put a normal picture back on my profile!

Tribs, even a bad day ends up good on Bonaire! Are you enjoying those sunsets?? Man, I miss those sunsets!

Back from the dentist and all good, no cavities! They even gave me a new toothbrush and floss.

Sorry I didn't get back here earlier, I got caught up in life here...oops, it is calling me again, gotta go!

Will check in later, have a great hump day evening if not.

Ok...here are a bunch of spoiled critters. Peace reigns temporarily while they snooze.

Tribs, Go over to the pool and relax! Take the rum and coke with you (you know where the ice machine is!)
I'm confused about a new battery on a new computer! I'm sure Bruce will be able to figure it out, but that's just not right! We here in Ohio have just finished the deluge; it's gonna be Bonaire hot tomorrow (and Ohio humid)! Relax the rest of today---for you, there's always diving tomorrow Judy

I didn't understand it either. The dive shop sent me a computer (via Carole Baker - thanks Carole!). I turned it on and it had a low battery symbol. I got 14 dives out of it and then it shut off. I had Bruce change the battery. On dive 7 of the new battery, the low symbol came on again. However this time it only lasted for one more dive. When I went to go in on dive 9, the computer shut off before I got into the water. The guesses are: 1) bad computer or 2) older computer that is running hot and burning up batteries.

Tribs, have them check it out.. My wife had the same thing happen on her new Oceanic Pro Plus 2 and come to find out, the battery compartment flooded. We replaced the battery and it worked for a little while but finally quit. We had our LDS send it back and they replaced it..

Kayla's computer is doing that. When we got it, she did one dive and the battery was dead. We drove all the way back to Jacksonville and got it changed. Then we went to Bonaire and she did 8-10 dives. The other day when we were in the pool, her battery was almost dead again. I'm gonna have someone look at it. 'Cause it doesn't seem right. Let us know what Bruce says...maybe that'll help me with hers...

Mom, I changed your pic...
I hope I can post as me now....

Congratulations RosAnne.

Cynde, remember don't get any T.A.T.T.O.O.S. in Yamaikah

Off to start prep work for dinner. Fried balogna with melted velveeta cheeze sauce, accompanied by tater tots and moon pies for desert = yum-yum.

Timmmy-Jerry, Jaci needs a softer seat for that chopper.

BTW.. this year will be our 21st... More than half our lives..

Well...they say it is the computer. The battery compartment was dry. I'm going to dive this battery until it dies and then I will probably be forced to cough up the money for a new computer. I can't be solo diving with unreliable equipment.

Tom... is that where mine came from.. Yamaikah... I donno, I just woke up and it was there.. I gotta quit drinking

Tribs, Which "layed-out" dog is Luci? Is she better? Judy

Kimo woke up "Juicy"!!!LOL
That is funny!

Tribs, that is grrrrreat...NOT! I guess I need to get Kayla's checked out. I hope you can exchange yours! You JUST got it!!!!

Tom, can I come over, that sounds excellent. I'll be sure to bring some PBR.

Tribs, be careful out there.

Brad are you really a PBR guy??

Hey, now let's not get ahead of ourselves...it's not "Time" yet!!! Unless you are in "Freddie-World" or "Gail-World", then, IT'S TIME!!!!

PBR would go good with Tom's menu for tonite tho!!

Freddie, no but my BIL is. One time at a restaurant in San Diego my wife and I were offered PBR. I asked "why would a place like this in San Diego offer PRB". Server replied, "for white trash Wednesdays".

no offense to any PBR fans out there

ROSANNE!!!

Hope you two have a wonderful celebration.

Whew....just got done with Episode I and y'all is flying

Still chugging away at month end. Working solo today was good; phones were busy and I got to talk to Patrick Thanks for chatting!!!!

Had a bout of storms roll through VA earlier with wicked looking sky; not much rain though! Miss Bubbles and I are packing up and calling it a good Bonaire Dollars day; heading home in a few. Will peek in again once we're there

Kobi, how'd the chocolate motor come out? I don't need to stockpile chocolate do I?

OMG how funny is that and yes Pegi you are right.. it gives me the runs..I know TMI.. has anyone tried the new Budweiser BL yet?? I think it may be my summer hot day drink

What is Budweiser BL? Is that the one with lime?

Tribs, Cute picture of your roommates chill'n out.
On your computer - Why don't you pick up a copy of the tables and keep it with you. That way if the computer craps out you can fall back on the tables.
Who remembers their tables - dive masters not included.
I don't and should take a refresher on tables. I do bring them with me on dive trips.
Terry has an older DiveTec computer that he picked up used (maybe a 1 year old) in 1999. It's big, yellow and has yet to need a new battery. What's up with that?

YES and have you tried the clove one?? I love the lime one.. the clove one is for winter in my book

Brad,
Chocolate Kiss motor was repaired in 10 hours on Friday/Sat (rewind and all). Reinstalled back on machine Saturday morning Kisses are rolling again in VA LOL!

Linda, I think it's the mouse on the wheel inside that does the trick.

Guess what gang?!?! That's right... Wednesday already - Episode III

Ok...I know you flipped the page but if I don't answer here I will forget. Luci is the brindle colored one. I guess that would be the middle critter, and she is doing much better! She talks constantly now that she is feeling better. LOL!

I have my tables with me. (My wheel is at home though.) Just don't own a depth gage.

Hey PS! Knock off that Gail-World crap! For the last 2 days we're had window/doors salesmen here to give us estimates on changing out 2 sliding glass patio doors and a big front picture window....... For hurricane proof glass! One NEEDS adult libations to get through sticker shock!

Hey - where's G working now - my kids need a new old car - can he beat Car Max?
