Are those still around? I now work for an Application Service
Provider. That's like, legitimate and shit. We even have customers.

Hey man, that seal blew at 60 feet on a night dive, and I still had time
to stop, chase an octopus, check out the massive squid egg nest, and
sprain my ankle hauling my ass out of the water. I'd say it was a
pretty good dive. Except for the neck seal blowing, and freezing my ass
off.

The good news is that I have, right now, sitting in a box in front of
me, a brand new neck seal, two brand new hard boots, a bottle of MEK,
and a bottle of PB300. I'm ready to rock. Or get high as a kite on
the fumes...

Excellent.

Well said! The new ex is doing her OW checkout dives this weekend.
She wants a RIB, and loves Neah Bay. I forsee many happy occasions in
my future. Since the ink on the divorce is still pretty fresh, I
figure it'd be best if we just shacked up for a while. But I hate
Bellevue, and I still have to sell my joint. So I'm in a bit of a bind.

My son was diagnosed with autism a while back, but he's smarter than
most of the doctors that have looked at him, so I'm not worried.

Other than that, not much.

Oh yeah, I'm still better looking than you.

Open the windows. The fumes have got you.

IIRC you had a Diving Concepts that you initially liked. If so, what's
wrong with it?

No, that was Udo. I got a DUI 450, but I have monstrous feet and they
don't have anything but rock boots in that size. I got them, but with
big misgivings and instantly my worst fears were realized. My jet fins
(turtle fins) wedge themselves on to the rock boots so tightly it takes
a travelling circus to get them off.

Added to that, they put balloons where the feet should have been, so if
I roll forward just a bit to look at something up close, they're heading
for the surface. If I squeeze all the air out, everything's fine.
Except that I'm freezing.

And they snuck on one of those dang low profile valves that don't dump
worth a shit, even when wide open.

I used to rent a CF200 that fit like a glove, with booties barely big
enough to get my toes in. Thing was easier to dive than a wetsuit. I'm
considering going back and trading them.
