What a great time, thanks everyone! Especially to Paula, Ber, and all the others for helping me with my first ever drysuit experience! Wish I could have stayed longer, next time the husband doesn't come if he has to work that night. :no

A real laugh fest - Great time. (+)

While I certainly did not get an early start on Saturday, I did make it down to get a least one dive (and another today), before the feed bag was laid out.

Thanks so so much to everyone who brought the food and munchies (Denny the kielbasa was excellent), I will come much better prepared next time.

It was great meeting everybody and we do need to get the projector set-up in the Fall to see some "life size) midgets.

Somebody should have taken the duct tape down there to seal up the hole. It worked on Denny's $2000 dry suit!

Oh yeah, I've posted some my photos on facebook. Mostly underwater from my second dive. I'm gonna get them on scuba board as well but this is a public facebook link you should all be able to view.

Denny: Thanks for going on the first two dives with me and showing me around!

Ber: Thanks for taking me on my first night dive ever! It was amazing!

And Ted: Thanks for the refrigerator space and showing me what a regulator looks like underwater. :-)


I had such a great time and I wish I could have stayed saturday to meet the rest of the gang but I'm sure I'll be back at more M&G's in the future!
Well, MrSmitty, I'm glad at least SOMEONE was there to represent "Chicago"! I knew I would be sorry to miss it this time. But I won't miss many more.

Following the Key rule of the M&G... All I will say is "a good time was had by all"

Hey Look, it's the "Brokeback Quary" brothers

Scared to get on a scale...

I think the only "problem" with these mEAT and grEAT events is that I leave feeling like I've been to an all-you-can-eat buffet. I think that I'm going to bring a cooler and some MILK next time to go with all the cookies and cheesecake. (and perhaps for the salsa, too )

It was great to see everyone and I hope that I can make it in the fall. (Has anyone suggested a date yet? ;-) )

-Rob
