No serious cracks and things so far. :) If I know it's going to be freezing, I will normally store it in a warm place. Not even lazy divers enjoy putting on a solid neoprene hood. :P

When, if you can't dive for a while, you find yourself going into the closet where you store your wetsuit, closing the door behind you, and stand there, breathing through your mouth?

...your fins outnumber your shoes...

...your wetsuits outnumber your suits...

...and you find yourself donating clothes to Goodwill because you needed the room in the closet for the latest BP/W / BC...

When you've been out of the water long enough for your boots to dry out completely (about a week) and wonder why they're so hard to put on.

Oh, and Christopher, I decided to take Tuesday off.....lol

You read a sentence in a mystery and wonder what a "deco styled house" is. (Seriously -- I sat there and looked at it and wondered if it was decorated in tanks or something, until I realized it was (art) deco . . .)

Seriously looking into permanent hair removal procedures because of a newly purchased p-valve, yep, diving is a true sickness with me.

when while trying to balance in a chair leaning back, i attempted to inhale and exhale to appropriately balance myself... this doesn't work on land... The sad part is i was unconsciously doing this for a few moments before I realized what I was doing...

To give myself a little credit though: I was practicing deep breathing to aid in air consumption before attempting to balance in the chair. I really need to find more stuff to do at work.
