Nevermind, I just saw that you're in Arizona... not a whole lot of trees to use to hold up the hammock.

I'm back. It was WAY too cold. All I brought was a thin sleeping bag and it was 30 degrees in the cement little cabin with two open windows that had no pane. Just had to use tweezers on two boys that fell into cactus and then pulled some thorns out of my foot where it went right through the bottom of my shoe. The smores were good although seeing 50 kids with their marshmellows on fire was quite scary.
What's up? What'd I miss? lol.
Good night Johnboy! ~ D

Laying on a concrete floor in a light sleeping bag and 30 F must have been cold. At least you are back safe with all your charges. They will have good memories of that weekend I am sure. At least one smore per trip has to be sacrificed to the gods.

Simon. we want to see the scallop pictures. B

Victoria, are you driving down to Dallas? I drove from PA through West Virginia, Virginia, Shenandoah Valley, Tennessee, ... It was gorgeous. If I could do it again, I'd stop and buy some land around Shenandoah Valley and ride horses and ATV's all day.
Good luck with your move. ~ B

Victoria then it sounds like a HH is in order to celebrate you coming to dallas. How does say the 28st sound to you for a HH in your honor? You know we have to have the WW in town to celebrate so the 2&3 weekends are out, and i think that first full weekend in town your going to be busy.

Great idea, 'tooth! I'd come down for a HH in Dallas at the end of Feb to meet a bunch of SD'ers! Quick, somebody start a thread! Oh, I guess that would be me!

And a big HELLO! to everybody on this gorgeous Saturday. It may actually hit the upper 50's today, so I'm off to see a movie with a friend. Look Ma, no coats!

Hi Dan. I was wondering if you were ever going to post something on here. lol. Wish I could be at the big D HH. Shouldn't have moved. I am going to try again to start an AZ HH. Wish me luck. ~D

Nice to see you to Belinda, Well my time on SD has been limited because Im balancing, work, school, classes for work, and my photoshoot schedule as well so my posting on SD has been hit and run and from the screen of my phone. Life is good but until the end of march life is alittle crazy.

let me know about a AZ HH as i might just use it as a excuse to get away from dallas and come to AZ

[damselfish]

We can set up a dive trip to San Carlos while you are here!
Good luck with your classes! ~ B

Sounds awesome, y'all!

Belinda, I'm actually kinda moving in stages. I have bare essentials here in Erie, but too much to bring down now. And I still have a big storage unit in Bryan with the bulk of my household stuff in it. Right now, I'm taking the train! I'm bringing 2 rolling duffels full of clothes, my dive bag (no way on earth I'm leaving THAT behind!), and my laptop computer. In May, I'm coming back up here to walk at graduation, and at that point I'll rent a truck and load up the stuff I'll have stored here, and drag it to Texas.

I'm looking forward to the train trip, even though it'll take about 35 hours all told. I love flying, and I love trains. So, since the price of a one-way ticket was about the same either way, but I can bring more clothes and my dive gear on the train, I thought I'd take the leisurely route! I'll read, I'll play on the 'puter, I'll sleep...all the while getting closer and closer to TEXAS!!!!

Nice thing is, being a newbie diver (only 28 logged dives), I don't have tons of gear. I have a weight-integrated BC (the lead is staying in storage here), regs, fins, mask, dive knife, tables, and a small spares/repairs kit. That's it. So the duffel it's all in is fairly small and light, as dive bags go. I'm travellin' light, y'all! ....well, unless you're talkin' about my clothes.... But in that department I have to have winter apparel, warm-weather garb, professional work clothes, etc.... Sheesh! That's cool...that's what the train is for! No weight restrictions! No security fits about my dive knife, or my big shampoo bottle, et cetera...

Did not see this post...have good chance of being in MN freeing my arse but enjoying our awesome local members at the MN Dive Show!

We'll certainly do a HH for Victoria but we'll let her get settled in first! Cool!

WOW I just had a blast playing laser tag. FUN! Beachjunkie I think you should go for the SWAT team. I'd love to do that. HMMM I got a high score on the shooting. I didn't ask how many times I was shot though. uh nevermind. Do the dive thing, It's safer. ~ B
