    Thanks for your generous support. I have debated it and am undecided. Should I be red, not, or it just doesn't matter? Let me know here in the thread.

    We can't figure out the disconnect. We really tried.

    Sorry peeps, I somehow got disconnected from this thread. :( I'm back in the loop!

    I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

    I've always loved a garden. Unfortunately, my current back issues prevent me from dealing with a full garden even though I have plenty of room. A few years ago, I built a raised bed/cart for my sister, and my dear cousin gave me another for my birthday. I'm also going to try bagging my veggies...

    I use the derepmet method to determine relative visibility.

    It's situational awareness on an automotive front.

    I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

    I went to my GP yesterday It's more than keeping your hand on the wheel. I find that if I nudge it, she knows that I'm there. Simply having my hand or hands limply on the wheel isn't enough. But yeah, he's only known power brakes, power steering, and automatic transmissions. I should find a 62...

    I am too. I need my back in working order before I do this. I'm envisioning a 20' or 40' High Cap container strapped solidly to the ground as the anchor for it all. House all the electronics inside and move Tom's scuba compressor in there as well, but on the other end.

    Machelle requires it as well, until we hit I75. It really irks Ethan, so he's learned to cancel Lane Keeping on county and state roads.

    Today we drove all over, looking for a shotty, to hunt turkeys. They are invasive here. :D We spent a bit over $5 putting on 151 miles. In a 20MPG car, it would have cost over $25. Wow. As we were tooling down I75, the car went into "Hands Free" mode. Look at Ethan's smile here.

    This has been fun... My phone is now my key. Once I engage my adaptive cruise control, it stays in the lane, unless I hit a turn signal, where it will change lanes if safe. I like this a lot.

    Wow. The new adapter really makes a huge difference on the travel charger. It was showing that it would be ready tomorrow just before noon, now it will be done way before midnight.

    Just in tonight is a level 2 48A Tesla Charger that seamlessly transitions between NACS and J1772. I'll pick up the 6AWG cable and 60A 240V breaker in the morning. I also got the 240V adapter to go from a NEMA 6-50P to a 14-50R, so I can plug her travel charger into most any drier outlet. [

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    Maybe it's time for another ScubaBoard BHB megadive? Oh @Scuba_Jenny!

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    As for learning to manage it, I suppose there is some truth in that. I find that fellow manatee divers rarely need a lot of exposure protection. Still, I've met large people who still need protection and skinny minnies who did not. The point is that everyone is different, and this is a limit...

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    I try to limit my dives in the springs to 4 hours. I've done a few over that, and I do get a bit chilled. Usually, the drysuit guys get cold before I do. I grew up in the springs. I'm used to the temps.

    I am their Terran ambassador. I speak for the Springs.

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    Glad to be a distraction for you. Yeah, other cavers will often do a double take when they see me swim by. My back and life has kept me mostly out of them for 2 years now. I can't wait to get back in.

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    What's a wetsuit? :D When you're built like a manatee, you get to dive like one. I dive year round in a t-shirt and shorts. Temps vary wildly here from 68F to 70F, unless I hit warm pisswater. We call that a urinecline.
