Re: Anybody else jonesing?

Driving in this weather not a good idea, not at least for Seattle. I went for a nice long walk today and I was surprised at the significant number of near misses. If there's a Higher Power protecting fools, he surely was busy on Bainbridge today!

Re: Anybody else jonesing?

Jonesing for sure ... I could get to the dive site. I could go diving. But I know I'd be coming out of the water soaking wet, and there's just not much incentive to do that. So far I've done three dives this month ... I'm jonesing big-time. Fortunately, we leave for the Maldives in nine days ... :t...

No issues with contact lenses here! I wear the soft, disposable type and I've been happy with them. Worth giving them a shot.

Re: The River, Miso Soup, And Surf 'n Turf

Redondo can be one of the easiest sites in the Sound to dive, but it can be really quirky. And nobody I know knows how to predict what days you'll hit the river. That is why I felt fortunate to be under the guidance of Bob and a great reminder of why we must always be prepared and continue training...

What a weekend! The weather deities showed compassion and revealed the glorious, incandescent orbe high above. Living in the PNW, I can understand why folks in the past were more than willing to sacrifice others to beckon its presence. Oh yeah, that must have triggered some wicked pollen showers as ...

My return to diving and how it went

It is just that when something takes this long to heal it raises the spectre of being one of those life changing things that doesn't heal and life changes to existence oriented around hospitals.
