    Diving for fish.

    You guys have clearly never hung around any marine biologists. I have personally witnessed people catching fish with a goody bag without killing or injuring them. Fast hands and persistence are key.

    Anyone know anything about cars?

    That looks like some sort of coolant hose on the left where the leak appears to be.

    Things you've found under water

    Found a Sherwood dive computer at 60 ft. To my surprise it turned on when I hit the button. I put a new battery in it and gave it to a friend who has been using it for about six years.

    I suspect they are little, tiny people. Or women. :)

    Billy Mays' last gig: advertising Mighty Tape to divers

    OT, but that stuff seems suspiciously like ordinary splicing tape in colors.

    4 year old Diver?

    Oh, really now. You gotta get him some black PJ's at least. Horizontal stripes are not DIR, I don't think. Very cute.

    Cyclists - a little advice please

    Competitive cyclists don't measure VDOT. In fact, I don't even know what that means. Performance in cycling is measured in how many watts you can produce for a given time, and the only way to measure that is with a power meter which is VERY expensive. You CAN monitor performance if you use your...

    I don't play the guitar

    Indeed. :) If those kids would stick with it, it's a logical and common leap to modern orchestral instruments like the clarinet or flute.

    I don't play the guitar

    The recorder was a prominent instrument from the 14th into the 18th century. There's TONS on music written for it. Pretty much anything we call Baroque music had recorders intended when the word "flute" is seen unless a transverse flute is specifically asked for. Enjoy the exploration. Like...

    I don't play the guitar

    Putting the trombone in the car and taking it to a gig pushes the trombone beyond specified parameters. :D And, lest we forget, the original version which is wild enough! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y41DykcpgRg

    I don't play the guitar

    Diver0001, I remember her, that's a great video. Here's something very esoteric for classical enthusiasts: YouTube - Tamara Volskaia domra Saint-Saens Rondo Capricioso The woman in this video is playing a well-known violin piece on a domra which is essentially a mandolin with single strings.

    I don't play the guitar

    As regards that first video: There's a lot of this going around. Lots of technique and not much music. As a long-time musician I'm not too impressed with this, although it is outstanding for what it is. The woman attempting to make sense out of Beethoven is much more impressive. That music is...

    Visual Inspection Sticker

    The date on the sticker is the month the visual was performed. If you have a sticker punched November 2008, it will need a new inspection on Nov. 1, 2009. First try peeling the sticker as much as you can, then use a solvent like Goo-Gone or a citrus de-greaser. Often, heating it with a hair...
