Don't we always eat too much?? :-)

Wow...2 slots on a charter...very nice, Bob!

Chilled-out at home with the family with a traditional turkey dinner. Santa was kind enough to get me a Pony (19cu'), quick disconnect, reg for it and dry gloves! Gosh...what a guy!!!

I can't complain,

PocketPC to run V-planner on, and the OK to buy a rebreather and a trip to see Mel to learn to use it!

All it cost me in return is the OK for her to go to Nepal for a month with her dad.

Which rebreather have you chosen for yourself?

Dmitchell · Post by **Dmitchell** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 10:28 am

Classic Kiss/Shearwater

It basically only came down to it or the Copis and I decided that the Kiss will be best for what I want to do down the road.

I must have been really good because Santa was pretty good to me..

I got a 19 pony, a weight bag, a underwater wallet (so I wont lock my keys in my car anymore yeah right), a glo toob, a floaty dive flag, and a dive mat with a wolf eel on it.. Oh and a new house! I move next month..

I can't wait to try out my new stuff. I need a reg, spg and a bracket system for the pony but its a start so I can't complain..

We had a nice turkey diner amongst all the boxes..

You're going to love it! I have a Classic KISS and it runs SWEET. It is by FAR the most field repairable unit out there, which I would imagine would be quite a plus up there in Alaska.

I got alot of extra things to attach to my BC , Knife, Octo holder, Fin Strap, mini Q-40 (E-led) , Tide Log...Great stuff!!
(for those who want to go there...I will not attach my Tide Log to my BC)

And then something I didn't ask for....

A Gear Cart for hauling gear at places like Sunny Side or Sunrise. :naka:

It is from a feed store, kind of like what you see at the Marina!

Oh ya, and we (Wife and I) got a EXLIM(?) CASIO, DIGITAL CAMERA (6 MEG).
I will get the underwater housing for it later on.

This year we cooked a Prime Rib for Christmas dinner. Along with King Crab Legs And Artichoke's mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

If anyone wants a good recipe for a Perfect Prime Rib? Let me know I'll send it to ya!

My wonderfull wife bought me a UK Light Cannon HID Light and a Mr. Heater for my boat. Tried them both out this morning on a dive out at Sucia Island. Man those HID lights are something else.

We or I should say my wife made an awesome prime rib for dinner. I'm still snacking on it.

No dive stuff for me either. Everyone knows I own everything.

I did get diamonds. My husband knows what I love.

She was eatting a few minutes before and I just got lucky. Although I have to say my cats have always been posers for the camera.

Hey - I got some new weights!!

I'm wondering about them, though
. - not as dense as the weights I am used to and
. - they're kind of lumpy,
. ... but they're all a nifty tech-black color.

Not sure why, but the black rubs off on my hands. ... but since my suit is black, I don't think it matters...

Includes a convenient burlap carrying sack too!! Cool!!

--------------------------------

Got a really nice Luminox Ti dive watch!! Very, very nice!! I guess I WAS a good boy this year after all!
