Answer: the diver that is dry was diving in the 500.00 suit.

Couple notes:
1. Had a great time meeting everyone! Tyvm for all your hospitality. I can't wait to get together again.
2. To the guy with the red Matrix from Cincy who lent me the weights - let me know when/how to get them back to you. I pick up donated clothes all over Cincy so I can probably deliver it with no difficulty if you give me the address. Otherwise, just drop me a line at woody@woodysworld.org
3. To the guy who I bought the case of beer for - I owe you $20. Drop me an email (above) with the brand name of what you had me buy and how much you originally gave me and where to send it and I will get that back to you asap.
4. To the guy with the English accent who dove with me on Saturday afternoon - would you sign my dive book? I can mail the page to you with a sase for you to return it in. I'd appreciate it.
5. I wanna do it again! Ya!

Brokeback Quarry

Epilogue

Katie Go Bucks married Choby and they went to the zoo to make fun of the monkeys. Amber successfully lobbied congress and OSHA for warning stickers on ceiling fans, Brain begin appearing in "certain" movies with the stage name Clyde S. Dale. Denny finally gets his suit to stop leaking but becomes incontinent. President Chelsea Clinton commemorates Meet-n-Greet 35 at Gilboa....And the rest is history.

As an ex-English teacher, Jcoby, you get an A+ for writing technique, creativity, and humor. I'm not sure, though, about that "incontinent" remark. I'm not quite that old----yet. Hey all, as soon as I can find 2 min. to rub together, I'll get pics posted. Some I may have to censor.:11:-----nah! This week is crazy for me.

JCHOBY,

You had me there for a minute, maybe two. I kept thinking "is he writing himself into this so he doesn't peeve others off?" Finally realized it was John Mittendiver in the story. I must still be slow after all the fun over the weekend. Excellent portrayal of the weekend. I assume the next chapter contains the scene from GARP that gave them just as many nightmares!

Your blanket from last year and backplate have been turned over to kt_gobucks since she's in Columbus and closest to you, I'm pretty sure the ransom is only $50 or so.

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

You're quite welcome! You both did a great job for your first night dive, no corking to the surface YAY! Slow your final ascent from the safety stop down though, you were kind of cruising on that part. Overall, well done!

You missed an even better campfire on Saturday night

You're quite welcome! It's a completely different animal isn't it? Sounds like you discovered why we consider cold water diving to be a completely different sport from warm water diving Hope you get your ear issue resolved.

Dude you TOTALLY missed it. The rabbit had no students so no obligation to act professional and took the opportunity to go running amuck. I don't get off the leash very often

Gumby is GREEN, that is Grimace.

Brokeback Quarry

Chapter 11 – The Bunkhouse

So, when is the Harlequin novel coming out? That was GOOD stuff!

That's some seriously funny ****

Oh you have NO idea Next time you see the spring meet-n-greet thread started you really should try to come up for it. You WON'T be disappointed with the party but remember, what happens at M&G STAYS at M&G The fall meet is usually much smaller and not quite as wild.

John

Departure time Rule #1: Call home FIRST
The Saturday campfire was an absolute RIOT compared to Friday night and Friday was really good as you know.

Careful, last time I mailed my logbook page to a Scubaboard member for a signature it came back with hearts drawn all around the entry...of course it wasn't your buddy and I AM a girl. I still vote for hearts in the logbook! Yet ANOTHER chapter of "Brokeback Quarry"!

Thanks to Ted for giving up the master bedroom in the bunkhouse for Bruce and I, I wanted to be as far from the overhead hazard as possible

It was so good to see all my old friends and put faces to some of the new names in the Crew. I had a blast! It was really nice being up there without students, I got to let my ears down for a change! Thanks for not running away when the rabbit got off the leash

BIG HUGS to my wine buddy Warm Water Wimp!

Great pictures so far! Can't wait to see the rest of them!

Is that Mr. Smitty or Mrs Mitty??? lol

John

Sorry, with me being new, the names were rough... Got it now John! I actually had the answer a couple on monday when I sent Denny a PM asking your name....

Leash! I knew I forgot something. May need to bring a crate too in case you're too ornery to leave on a leash...

Fellow M&G'ers, please check up on me Thursday. Ber may stuff me down the pool drain tomorrow...
