Dive With Greg - The Details - Almost Final
Lee Bell
yet to receive and send personal invitations to a couple rec.scuba
participants who have yet to indicate they even know this thing is going on.
I've made some decisions that may or may not be popular based on the
preferences I have received. I think I've maximized things for everybody,
but if I haven't, it was no for lack of trying. If I screwed things up, let
me know.
****************************************************************************
********************************************
Dinner will be on Wednesday night, October 8. At the moment, the Rustic
Inn, near Ft. Lauderdale Airport is the front-runner. Wednesday night
increases the chances for attendance by those who can't be here for both
days. Rustic Inn specializes in all kinds of crabs. Their other seafood
dishes are good and I assume their stakes, etc. are as well. They are
casual and reasonably priced. You need not confirm dinner at this time, but
if you're not diving with us on Wednesday, please confirm before then so
that I know how many seats to arrange at the restaurant.
****************************************************************************
********************************************
John Francis, you mentioned you'll be here, but I don't see a confirmation
you'll be diving with us or when. Please reconfirm.
Dazed and Confuzed, I know you're coming, but I don't know whether you'll do
one dive or two. Please reconfirm. Last time you stayed in Ft. Lauderdale.
If you're going to be here again, let me know and you'll become my third
passenger for the dives.
Dan Volker, I've not heard from you on any of this. Please let me know what
you plan so that I can accomodate you, Sandra, etc.
****************************************************************************
*********************************************
Greg is in for both days and, I presume, dinner.
Jim Layton is in for both days and, I presume, dinner.
Anonymous #2 is in for both days and, I presume, dinner.
I'm in for both days. Jayna will accompany me to dinner.
Captain Bill is in for both days and, I presume, dinner.
Robin is in for both days and, I presume, dinner.
Old Goat is in for both days and, I presume, dinner.
Curtis is in for one day, with a preference for Thursday. He'll be doing a
day trip and won't be able to join us for dinner.
Limey Dave is in for one day in Boynton and another if a Pompano dive suits
the majority. Hopefully, he'll join us for dinner. I'll check with him to
be sure he's OK with a Pompano dive on Wednesday and a Boynton dive on
Thursday in order to accommodate preferences of Dennis, Curtis, Dan, Sandy
and a possible surprise guest.
Dennis is up for the 9th and prefers a reef to a wreck, i.e. Boynton.
ESG is in for on day with no particular preference. I hope he'll join us
for dinner. Mike, if you'd like to bring Gary or anybody else, just let me
know.
Dan Volker and Sandy will try to join us for a dive, on Thursday I presume.
I hope they'll join us for dinner too. Dan, please let me know what you
plan as soon as you can so that I can plan for you. According to Curtis,
Dan may bring a surprise guest. I trust it will be a pleasant surprise. I
don't think I could throw Dan overboard, but I might feel obligated to try
if he screws up. 8^)
Laser can't make it.
Air Hog can't make it.
Kimber won't come without him.
Brightdiver can't make it.
Scubaqueen won't come without him.
NE333RO can't make it.
Matthew Endo can't make it but may join us for dinner. I'll check again.
Anonymous #1 probably won't make it for a dive, but will try to join us for
dinner.
Popeye, at last report, can't make it.
OK, that's the names and status, here's the plan for diving. Let the
discussion begin, but also let it end quickly. Dave and I need to make
reservations.
****************************************************************************
*********************************************
Based on preferences I've received, I'd like to ask Limey Dave to schedule
an AM Pompano Dive on Wednesday, October 8. I'll leave where and what up to
him. I assume that this will include Greg Mossman, Jim Layton, Anonymous
#2, Lee Bell, Captain Bill, Robin John Francis, Dazed and Confuzed, and Old
Goat. I'll check with Anonymous #1 just in case he'd like to join us. I'll
provide transportation for Greg, Anonymous #1 and for one more person if
they're staying in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Limey Dave has offered to
assist with transportation as well. I think he can probably take 3 as well,
so make your travel reservations early. Hopefully, Dave will let us know
how to arrange equipment in time for us to do it.
I'll schedule a morning dive with Splashdown Divers on Thursday, October 9.
I assume this one will include Greg Mossman, Jim Layton, Anonymous #2, Lee
Bell, Captain Bill, Robin, Old Goat, John Francis, Dazed and Confuzed,
Curtis, Limey Dave, Dennis, ESG, Dan Volker, Sandy, and possibly a surprise
guest.

If he does, he'll have to find his own transportation to the boat. Somebody
that's been dead all these months is not riding in my new Durango.
I don't know who the surprise guest is. Hopefully, Dan won't bring anybody
that will be a problem to the group. I actually considered inviting George
Irvine and Jarrod Jablonaski, but figured that it would be a bit much to
expect everybody to behave well if I put them together with ESG, Greg and
me. I may actually schedule a dive for a group like ours to dive with
George and JJ, assuming of course, that they are willing, just to let
everybody see everybody else isn't really what everybody thought. It
certainly would not hurt anything to be able to start the DIR/WKPP/Stroke
thing over again, this time without all the hostility that has built itself
into the issues over the years.

Believe it's an idea to possibly invite as of yesterday's contact,
mentioned for possible head count. Someone I met about 3 years ago,
probably wouldn't remember me by name, doubt very seriously you'd consider
his presence anything less than a real asset.
Besides, you appointed me as "lifeguard", so we cannot throw ANYONE
overboard......we need a 10 gallon cooler filled with ice cold Gatorade.

I don't know about that. However, I'd bet watching, you, Mike Gray and
Irvine "getting together" would be damn entertaining.

Very wrong guesswork......but, call in "sick" on Thursday, drive your
butt down an hour south, and ride south from there with me......the van's
been replaced, have a more comfy dive buggy now. Be leaving here around
0530-0600, back by 1700-2000.

Not necessarily......I'm often "sick" of work, and I reckon I could get
an excuse stating that a hyperbaric exposure of 2 x 60 minute sessions might
just well cure it long enough to last til vacation rolls around.

I don't know who the surprise guest might be, but I doubt that he would
bring George along without warning. The fact that I made a point of
ensuring he was invited should suggest that I think better of him than that.
> I'd bet watching, you, Mike Gray and Irvine "getting together" would be

It probably would be if it came as a surprise to anybody, but I suspect that
a planned dive trip of that time would be dissapointingly unexciting. Some
day, it could happen. Personally, I think it might be a pretty good idea.
Those who take the time to consider their diving and work on optimizing
things to make it safe and comfortable should have quite a bit in common and
just think of how much might be accomplished by an unemotional blending of
the ideas proposed by experienced tehcnical and recreational divers.
> Shift this show to a weekend and I'll drive down.
You'll have to blame Greg for that one. He set the dates, I just helped
with the organization.

Oh, and the reason my guess is MHK, is cuz in August, he said he'd make the
Dive with Greg, if he wasn't teaching and then he took his usual opportunity
to post some more GUE spam. The schedule said that there is a Fundamentals
course being given in Ft. Lauderdale the weekend following the Dive with
Greg. (No, no, don't thank me MHK) Further, it is DEMA at that time. So
with Volker bringing a surprise guest, that I'm quite sure isn't G3 . . .
well, that's how I came up with MHK.

A few little things like major car repair expences for both vehicles that
were unplanned -- an uncertain job future -- little things like that. If it
was the weekend -- we would be there. Taking midweek time off -- just isn't
a good idea atm.
We were really looking forward to going. I dug the warm water diving when
we went this summer. Those were the best most memorable dives I have ever
done. But right now it just isn't in the cards.

Actually, I have an idea of who it might be and it isn't MHK. Now that his

part of this group as the rest of us. Just think how boring the group woud
be if we all agreed on everything all the time. Mike, if you're in the
area, you're welcome to join us for the dives and/or dinner. If, by some
strange twist of fates, that works out, please let me know ASAP. I'll be
making boat reservations soon.
Speaking of being welcome, I don't recall seeing your name on the list.

Works for me either way. If he's coming with DAN, which I don't think is
the case, Dan needs to tell me. If he's coming on his own, he needs to tell
me. Either way, if he prefers to remain anonymous, I will comply with his
wishes, just as I am for Anonymous #1 and Anonymous #2 right now. The trick
for me is to remember which is which.

But of course!!! We would have met you on Micks visit - but that was so

Jayna says I can come out to play if I'm not controlling a bunch of idiots
trying to cruise into the path of 100+ mph race boats. I'll have to check
to see exactly what's going on with the race, but if it all works out, I'm
in.

Did you happen to fail to notice that I added the word "remove" to my
newsgroup e-mail address? I just got a 121 messages consisting of 120 spams
and viruses and 1 actually for me. The signal to noise ration has gotten
too high for an unmodified e-mail address. In fact, I'm thinking of
changing the address I've been using for years as soon as I can figure out
how to let everybody that uses it know. My friends I can handle, but I
can't even guess how many companies use it to confirm my access to their
services.

As I just responded in a previous message, I have to check the status of the
race, but if I an be there, I will be there.

My old hctc address was getting 150 to 200 spams a *day*, now I get zero.
Once the spammers have your number, it is had,
and about all you can do is change it.
I print a copy of each access issue or provider I use, and keep them in a
folder in my file cabinet, for just this reason.
What I would like to see is our tax dollars start to prosecute these
assholes, and I mean jail time. UCE is penalized by
10 days in the kooler for each count.
Now, send out 15,000 emails, and we'll see you in 416 years.

I noticed the "remove" and removed it. I think it's probably lost in
the traffic. I did get the latest one from you and I saw your earlier
post above.
I've received 174 today, mostly viruses attached to spams. I think
that you're idea of changing addresses is going to be the only way to
stop them and that is going to be a proverbial bitch in a lot of ways.
I'm checking the e-mail through a webmail client first trying to sort
the wheat from the chaff. So far it's working but it's not a long term
solution.
Dave and I will keep a beer cold for ya just in case.

I still think a public broadcast of feeding, feet first and very
slowly, the spammers/virus hackers still alive, screaming, bleeding
carcasses, to sharks would do wonders.
I know it would give me some satisfaction.

Shark feeding is illegal in Florida these days, but for this, I think we
could make an exception.

Shameless plug here - I've been using the newest version of Eudora (v6)
for both the Mac and Windows platforms for the last week, and I'm
pleasently surprised at how well the junk mail filter works. I get
about 200 junk mail messages a day, and about 5 are getting through the
filter with nothing being incorrectly thrown away. You might want to
consider giving it a try.

What about gator feeding?

On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the
gulf for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in his car
when there was a frantic commotion just off the shore. A helpless man,
wearing a white and burnt orange University of Texas jersey, was
struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot
shark.
As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with
three men wearing maroon and white Texas A&M jerseys. One quickly fired
a harpoon into the shark`s side. The other two reached out
and pulled the bleeding semiconscious, Longhorn from the water. Then
using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it,
too, into the boat. Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to
the beach.
"I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard
that there were some bitter hatreds between Longhorns and Aggies,
but now I have seen with my own eyes that is not true". As the Pope
drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies "Who was that?"
"It was the Pope", one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and
has access to all of God's wisdom." "Well," the harpooner said "he
may have access to God`s wisdom but he doesn't know JACK about shark
fishing. Is the bait holding up OK or do we need to get another
one"?

Time permitting? Damn, a man's gotta eat! Your idea of Lor'e lei works for
me. A sunset ale and conch fritters always rounds out a keys trip nicely.

It's a major pain in the ass since it only allows message from people in my
Earthlink address book to pass through without making them fill out some
authorization form. Of course I don't use the Earthlink address book, so
everybody who doesn't fill out the authorization is blocked until I can add
them to the address book . . . one at a time.

Lorelei's is a nice place, but it's not normally our first choice for
dinner. We like Islamorada Fish Company better.

Needs to be a 60 Hz source... It seems to attract the fire ants for some
reason... I've had them attack both my air conditioner and my pool pump...

You present a perplexing dilemma, as there is much to learn from each one of you.
So, I will chose all of the "parts".
I wish I could say my chances of being there were promising.
But, you never know, there is still plenty of time.

at the Fish Co. though, and the sunset is better at Lorelei. As an extra

Somehow, "Big Dick and the Extenders" and "family rated show" don't work
well together. I haven't seen but once since Woody's became a strip bar.

strip bar after I met mike F. (from this very group) down there and tried to
