I will have 5 al80's and 1 al63. That should last me at least one dive with my sac rate ... :)
 
I'm only bringing an al80 and a steel 80, so I may have to make a run for air too.
 
OK...Madison and I are in for overnight camping. I'm going to bring my doubles and a couple of al80s. That'll have to do since I really don't want to make a roadtrip for air.

We'll bring something for the grill...won't decide on that until I'm at the store probably. Plenty of beer and Gatorade for the cooler. I'm sure we'll be packing lots of snack food too..chips, etc.
 
What I've picked up so far:

5 doz Eggs
50 HEB flour & 10 corn tortillas, plus just for s-n-g's I'll grab some fresh Taco Cabana tortillas as well
3 Green Peppers
1-24oz tub of Regular HEB Sour Cream
50 Plates
36 sets of Plastic Silverware
48 Plastic Cups
2 refill tanks for the lil table top grill. They're the small ones that sell for like $12 for a 2-pack.

If I need to increase the counts on anything let me know and I'll get er done.

Ill save ya a spot in "Lm Commune" that way the girls can be close together. Were only bringing 4 tanks cause mine are in hydro still :shakehead:
 
I had a great time diving with everyone yesterday. I'm up for more diving when ever anyone needs a buddy. I need as much practice in lake diving as I can get. I did take a few pictures topside, I would have taken more but I forgot that I had the camera.

Great diving, camping and hanging out with a fine bunch of DIMWITS. My van looks like an Academy Surplus and a Dive Shop collided inside :wink: :D

I got some pics to from topside, never put the camera into the underwater case. I'll get them up when I can.

Thanks to LM for cooking for the group, fajitas for dinner and breakfast tacos this morning. I'll try to have the kitchen equipment better maintained and organized for the next one. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Thanks to everyone for coming out this weekend, couldn't have asked for a better group to hang with.

I am showered and in clean dry shorts again and feel a bit better but dread the next unload/sort/clean/store process that is about to start. I do believe next camp/dive I will bring a shower to rinse some of the lake off of me in between dives.

More to post later, or maybe tomorrow, depending on how far I go before I crash into the couch :D
 
Had a lot of fun. Thanks LM for cooking, it was all excellent. Put a lot of faces to names. I'll stay active on the board so that when I'm back in town, I'll know when and where people are diving and hopefully I can get Jess on the board so she can have some buddies to help her stay in the water. I ended up with a set of weight pockets, if they're yours, I've got them in my truck and can help get them back to you in the next couple of days. Anyway, had a great time and the shower when I got home was most welcome. Now to wash Zoe.

Hey Kenny, it was great to meet you, Jess and Zoe. At least Zoe can be washed in the sink, I'm about to hose down Rocket next and get that off my list. Is Zoe as 'dog' tired as Rocket? He came home, drank a bunch of water, ate a bite and crawled under the coffee table to crash.

I think those pockets may be mine, big black rectangular ones with gray pull handles and a 4 lb sea pearl weight in each? Not sure I'm missing mine yet, as van is only partly unloaded at this point. Most of scuba gear is at wash station, but haven't started breakdown and inventory yet, just hung, piled, and rinsed.

Edit: update on pockets, mine are out in my pile of rinsed gear, I just sorted it and set it out to dry, and both of mine were there, but I'm sure the owner will chime up soon.

It was good meeting everyone.
Great company, nice lake, and fun dives. Perfect weekend.
Looking forward to doing it again soon.

In the cleanup we found a set of softweighs. If your missing some, shoot me a pm.
