It's Saturday again and what a week we had!

We had earthquakes, (missed) birthdays, Debbie's VA adventure, thespacebardoesn'tworkthingie, Bruce, Capt. Tuffy and friends, 3 goodbyes in 1 day, Woodies, more earthquakes, etc.

Good Morning Judy...have a good day at work.

Thunderstorms here!

Good morning all, no time to do much but work this week. However PATRICK, YA KNOW WHAT I WANT HELL BRO, THROW A SIDE OF SUNNY SIDE UP EGGS ON THAT PLATE TOO!!! To hell with my doctor today

Benny and I had a great dive on the wreck of the "General Butler" last night with 3 friends. See: http://www.victorysports.net/charters/genbutler.htm

We had 35+ feet of vis too which is a rarity in Lake Champlain. My boy did fantastic considering we entered in 3' waves (storm had just passed). It was his first Historic Wooden Shipwreck - won't be his last. After two trips around the vessel a couple of divers went back to the surface but, Benny, our buddy John (a DM visiting from Conn) and I did three circuits around the ship. I was even able to show Benny and John a bit of wreckage which is off the wreck before Benny's spg showed 1200 psi at which time we left the ship and surfaced. Did I tell ya, my boy did great? Can you tell I am a proud Poppa?)

Hugs to all that need or want them. I hope you all stay safe, are healthy, feel loved and have a happy day. T

Breakfast is now served. Please come up and pick up your orders.................

I'm here

Tom, you have all rights to be a proud father How old is Benny?

Yes, Bette, it was a week!

Hi Tom...good job Benny!!

Thanks for breakfast, Patrick, yum!!!!

Well, today is the day where I must get motivated about packing. It seems I shall be boarding a plane in Philadelphia to go to Montego Bay on Tuesday. After about 1.5 hours shopping at the duty free for Appleton Rum, buying Ackee for Annie, and knocking back a few Stripes, I'll be getting on another plane for Curacao. Eventually, I'll get to Bonaire.

Jim,

Drink a Stripe for me!

We will be using the CO flight in September, and I have to say I will not miss Sangster Airport.

However, it seems as though I truly knew I was on vacation, headed for Bonaire when I downed my first Red Stripe.

That part of the trip I will miss. It will feel odd to arrive at Flamingo at 5AM and not be able to drink a Bright.....

Have a glorious trip.

Hi everyone. Yep, Bette, was quite a week, and yesterday was a particularly bad one. Well, we can blame it on that full solar eclipse yesterday?

I'm skipping breakfast (bad i know!) but going on the monthly shopping spree at the commissary on base. Takes two people and two full shopping carts. Ack!

At least Larry is diving today. He is a Venice nut. lol It also gets him out of the hard work around here!

Patrick - I'll have what Tom's having only put my Sausage gravy over hash browns instead of biscuits!

Hey Jim, I know you normally wouldn't drink Ting but, would you suffer through one for me ya Lucky Poot?

Bette, Benny is 16. Unfortunately we couldn't dive together for the past two years FORTUNATELY, WE ARE MAKING UP FOR IT THIS YEAR

28 Days Tom !!

Tom, when I wanted to be an astronaut, I drank Tang. What the heck is Ting? Is it Chinese or Vietnamese?

R.A., please call and tahkame lak doity islan wuman(actually don't, I have to concentrate on reg repairs rotflmao)

George, give the lady a hug for Pam and I.

Jerry, wetvac.

Here is my wet-vac.

TOM!!! Now get to work, those regulators need your attention. heehee

Man, does Tom do what he's told!

Good Boy Tom.

Years ago I got the bright idea to suck on a Riccola while diving to prevent drymouth. Worked like a charm until my dive tech asked WTH was all over my regulator that was darn near impossible to get off. Her asked me if I'd lost my cookies in it or something. I seriously couldn't imagine what it could be, until I'd left the shop.

So word to the wise - no lozenges while diving.

Jerry, I'm totally trying to figure out a bike joke with a play on spoke. It's raining in NY, I think I'll go downstairs and cut some wood.

That storm is moving this way Seb, looks nasty.
Are you making a bird house?

Hey Seb and Jerry, keep the storms down your way.

R.A., working hard here, while listening to Burning Spear. Abso******lutely love it when people come in and say "Marley, I just love Marley!" almost feel like I am being a jerk when I say "Well alright then, let me put some Marley on for you." Just happened, that is why I remembered it - HA

Jerry, never argue with a woman.

To all fellow vets, I salute you.

The last time I argued with Louise, the doc said that I was a lucky man to be alive.

Tom's correct.

Tom, I crack up when people think any reggae toon has to be Marley.
I also love Third World and Steele Pulse, a little more main stream but still a good island feel! Third World's "Sense of Purpose" is running through my head now. Ah geez, see what you went and did now!

Seb, not a good idea to cut the wood, you could hurt yourself!

Seb, run down to Johnson Hardware and get the right tool for the job!


Thanks....I needed that....I've been
SUCH a dutiful daughter and respectable grown up down here at my mom's that even a small bit of naughty is welcome.....

Cut your wood Seb, I use the smell of sawdust for aroma therapy also.

Barbara "CB", you are a good daughter and what you are doing is wonderful but, remember to "Play" and do play often. YGM.

I have to crank out some shelving and furniture Jerry.

Nice clip Tom, I think I'm gonna download Reville for my phone. What a nice alarm that will be. I kept waiting for it...

Ra, bite your beach bunny tongue girl! I was cuttin' wood before you ever et solid food. Heck, I've chewed through more wood than you can shake a stick at! I live in The House of Wood!

Wood eye? Hair lip!

Barbara, you crack me up! You sound bored. I am going for a pedicure in an hour but i had the loverly task of feeding the lizard live bugs this morning, WHEW, that was exciting! The things is half blind and can't catch the bugs, I think its going to starve!

Barbara, I picked up some Johnson's Wax at the hardware store, but it didn't seem to work. Now I have to get the wax off.

I can pick up some sex wax for you at the beach Seb, makes things nice and shiny and sleek!

I'm board with sex wax Ra.

Isn't that the wax that Freddie said hurt to remove?

and your last was a good one Sebbo.

Only when used with duct tape.

Skippy, you should know all about duct tape.

I'm going for my pedicure now, please behave! Hey Seb, Labor day they have The Woodies on The Wharf celebration, you gonna be there?

I gave myself a pedicure with a sawzall and a 12" bastard file last night. I feel so pretty.

I know peanut butter works at taking off chewing gum.

Creamy, NOT CHUNKY!

Tom, aren't you glad you didn't get my Riccola Reg?

Actually Ra, I might even march this year.

I hope it was a Super Sawzall Tom. If you're feeling yourself in the shop, wash your hands before you service any more regulators.


(Message edited by seb on August 2, 2008)

Lets have a party.

but, but, but, "Ricccccccccccohlllllla" (think commercial) smells better than cookies. By the way, I am insulted, I never feel myself in the shop, I always go on the roof for "personal" time. Just came back in too so, it is time to finish testing and put the mouthpiece back on the primary second stage and I am done with this afternoon's service. Not gonna wash my hands either - HA, "So tell me, how am I Mr. CanIhaveitbackthisafternoon?"

OMG, that nurse is Barbara Streisand!!

Why is it that gay guys love Barbara?


Check Please.

Jerry - I like your new mask and snorkel - you just couldn't wait to try it out huh ?

Jim, were you able to get the catalogue I emailed you about, for our mutual friend?

Well Jerry, are you going to tell us or not?

Been a great week for me.

First: My (favorite) scanner quit scanning.
Second: Pam's laptop quit lapping on Thursday. Fortunately it is covered by warrantee.
Third: Today my Cannon Camera quit camming. Dontchya love elektronics?

Heading home soon, I hope you all have a good evening. Thankfully tomorrow is Sunday so.... I'll be right back here going between the rooftop and repair bench.

I want to be Barbara Streisand when I grow up :-) My boxer is howling as the YouTbue is playing. He likes to sing along.

Tom, my lap top got a Trojan this week - took me a few days to get it back to normal. And the repair place called to tell me my Canon camera will not be repaired as the problem is corrosion and that is not covered by the warranty plan I bought with the camera. Nice Best Buy. Hey! It was in my housing, no flooding ever, where the heck did corrosion come from? This reminds me why I do not normally buy those extended warranties.

But sounds like your dive with your Benny was awesome. That's what is important in life, not these electronics hic-ups :-)

Definitely not important but quite handy in times.

Tom, 16 already?! Now the 2 of you can go and do "Grown-up Man" stuff

No really, your little man of 16 years old is not so little anymore. It's a great age for dads to teach their offspring what they've learned but be prepared for some "good" discussions.

Denise, glad to hear you were able to fix your computer sad to hear your camera is crap. Best Buy is actually eating the repair on Pam's laptop, the tech called today to tell her that it appears to be the mother board. Best $300.00 she spent was on her extended warrantee. My camera was not in the housing and I have not sent it back to Canon - yet. Have been searching tech chat boards to see if this is an issue with the A620, seems like it is not. Am considering another canon or the olympus that Debbie recently purchased. Have to decide quick otherwise no pics from my next trip.

Send pics when you grow up please

Bette, Benny and I do "Grown-up Man" stuff together. We are constantly saying to each other "Look to your left." I have many times asked Ben if some of his female "Buddies" mothers were single. When Pam overhears me asking him this, I usually get dope slapped. Someone on this board says that we all need a good dope slap once in a while I am afraid that I am starting to like it.

Well, Pam's sister is in Oregon and my Nephdog Peter has been in a kennel for a few days so his Auntie Pam sprung him for the night. Peter and Sadie have been chasing each other around since I got home. Ahhhhhhh, the sounds of two Jack Russells barking at everything including wind is .........."Honey where are my ******* earplugs?"

CYA

I feel like hearing, All Day and All of the Night...lol. Because that's what it took to buy a month's worth of groceries, and Class Six was having a tent sale, where OMG $20 wines were $2.00, so I spent another $60. But it's 6:35 and I left at 11:00, and just now everything's in order and dinner's on.

Will this do?

That's NOT really the song I was looking for, but it will do as I have a salad and wine and the sun is not EVEN close to setting, but at least...IT'S NOT RAINING!!!

What a great thread today
Bette you absolutely captured the BT week - perfectly.

Guy and I have had a nice day. I went to the gym, the grocery and then after a shower we headed downtown for breakfast (Huevos Rancheros -- yummmm) and a little shopping for him. Two new button up shirts from Big Dogs
Big Dogs of Santa Barbara aka 'fancy clothes' in the Smith household and they were 1/2 price - can't beat that with a stick!

We've been listening to such great music all day -- thanks to BH we've got 2 Marc Broussard cd's, Jimmy Buffett's Take the Weather with You, Venice, Amos Lee, and The Neville Bros
Heaven

Oh and thanks to BH we're planning on seeing Marc Broussard Aug 28th...
at the Roxy in West Hollywood
any other West Coasters or BTrs want to join us??
It's a Thursday night but the show doesn't start until 10!!

I think Cynde is going to work on Hunny Bunny to get them to come up.

Tom.Please tell Pam she has my sympathy. This is usually the moment man think they are 21 again...........hm.
I'm living vicariously through you. My prince is with his 7 years still little and cute but I not sure if I look forward to were you're at now. Jos on the other hand can't wait :-\

Thanks Tara.
You rock girl, sounds like you had a fabulous day. Did some black belt shopping training with Kobi?

Anyway. It was a busy day here and I am pooped. When I get home I'm gonna drop on my bed and sleep for a week (ha, not a chance. I have to be on the airport at 5am tomorrow picking up guests. UGH).
I'm signing off. Stay safe, be good.

That's it for me too.... we headed off to a Fiesta Party Viva La!!!!

Sweet Dreams Everyone

May your tomorrows be more than you dreamed of

Hugs PegiSue, Cecil, Kaarien and any one else who would like one

Tara, I'll take a hug...hugs are ALWAYS good!

Goodnight all, sweet dreams....

Miss you, Kaarien and Pegisue...

Jim, my best friend in the world --- when you're in MoBay... maybe you could pick me up some Ting and bring to Bonaire?? Just a bottle or two?? It's amazing with vodka... mmmmm.

I, too, have packed today. I decided I needed to get on the ball.. I've been slacking !

Won't be long now !!

Can I get a HOOTIE HOO from the crowd???

HOOTIE HOO Girl! So sorry we'll miss you by just a few days!

HOOTIE HOO, HOOTIE HOO, HOOTIE HOO
