That sounds like that old question... If I eat a vegan does that mean I've eaten my veggies?
It's supposed to be a loud speaker, shouting into it.
Because of the wonderful artistic ability I exhibited? Drew it and scanned it with my HP all-in-one.
And speaking of exhibition, what's this about skinny dipping? Our lake only has one alligator left in it, let's go!!!
They got to be number one in something up there. They just got edged out for most number of gang members. I'm sure Rahm Emanuel will have it all under control soon.
It was only 47 last month, that is better than last years average.
Oh man am I going to eat good this morning. Take the left over mashed potatoes from the night before and fry them up with some bacon and eggs sunny side up. Drizzle some hot sauce over it all and WOW what a great meal.
I like to do the same with left over carrots but I guess they smell bad when you fry them. My sniffer must be burned out because I cannot smell it

passedpawn, you need to get out there and kill some fish brother. Here's an Ono (mackeral) pic caught during my two year stent on Wake Island. We've covered about every other topic in this thread, might as well throw some fish in on the mix.
Oh heck funny how life can sneak up and catch you unawares. I had forgotten or never lived the drama that kids go through in school now days. This whole dance thing I think is not worth the work and emotion that my kid is going through
I used to fish a whole lot, now it seems there's ever time. Our new house is a just a few houses off a river, so my San and I definitely have some summertime fishing plans brewing.
This is how I roll California ocean style though.

Diving is one thing I never had the guts for. I'm not big on the open water, although boats don't bother me at all. The only thing I ever chickened out of in my whole life was the chance to heloblast off of San Clemente Island in California when I was in the Army.

Its a sensory deprivation sport, so it might not be your thing. It is the exact opposite of jumping out of a plane, where everything is firing and you are taking in a load of information. You get less info to process underwater. Its not for everyone.
I don't know about that. Go on a shark dive. You'll get a sensory overload like you've never had.
CreamyGoodness said:I didnt learn to make sunnyside up eggs until I was 30. Once you figure out that the stove doesnt have to go on full throttle for everything, all sorts of things come out a lot better. hehe.
Passedpawn posted a pic of his eggs in mashed potato boats about a year ago btw... sounds like a similar concept.
Another trick that works well is to put a lid on the pan, the steam will help the tops to cook a little without the bottoms getting overdone
You definitely figure out quickly you are not the top of the food chain anymore. But plummeting head first toward the earth at 120mph is a completely different sensory experience from the sensory experience underwater even with sharks.

Airplanedoc said:In scuba you really try to relax completely, slow your heart rate, slow your respiration rate, etc. for more bottom time. Then you have to factor that there is less sense of gravity, less light, less color saturation, sound travels differently, no smell and less of a sense of motion. To me it seems to expand time, where as jumping out of a plane compresses time.
I lived by the ocean my whole life... open waters are dangerous, currents can be tricky and you have to know how to swim in open sea... I was very good when I was 20, used to swim everyday... for some reason last summer I tough that I was capable of doing the same stuff... even knowing that I´m overweigth and in a terrible pshyscal condition...all I can say is thank you lifeguard team... my pride is hurt but I´m alive.
snaps10 said:I've never scuba'd before only freedive. That was during an abalone trip at Fort Bragg. I went 0-3 on Lings with the spear gun then 2-2 with my Pole Sling. Go figure. According to my log the water on this trip was 49. I wore a 4/3 suit with a 2mm vest. That photo was at about 25' under the kelp beds. While the kelp can be dangerous, I'm very caution and prefer to dive there, because sharks won't swim into kelp, and I'm afraid of sharks. If I could just keep the seals away now. I hate those things. They're evil and they think it's hilarious.
We use poles occasionally too
I love California.
I have a strange fear of being deep underwater. It's totally unrealistic but I always imagine looking up and seeing a ship pass overhead. That would freak me out for some reason. I also have an unrealistic fear of being alone in a large industrial room with large water pipes and weird sounds.
I really don't know how you guys do the sub thing! My cousin was a submariner in the early nineties. He was a nuclear engineer. For some reason he didn't use that training when he got out. He's an air marshall now. Most of the men in my family are in law enforcement so I guess he was influenced by that.
