Regulator Repair or Replace? That is the Question.

[AfterDark]

In fairness, Afterdark missed out on something like six weeks of diving fixing his car.... only so the engine could fall out of his wife’s car....

Actually it was 3 weekends on my car and 1 weekend on wife's car. Engines don't fall out of cars, it isn't possible without catastrophic damage to the main crossover and separation from the transmission. Her car did need 2 new axle shafts, oil change, power steering pump, and a 1 ball joint that was stuck so bad in the steering knuckle it needed a wedge between it and the control arm, the steering knuckle heated to cherry red, and me on the end of a 6' railroad pinch bar to free it! Rust never sleeps.

However the weather has been what has kept me out of the water mostly this year. I made a decision a few years ago to dive quality dives only. So if the weather doesn't look, good wind speed/direction, wave heights that do not invite good visibility than I stay home and get things I've been neglecting, done.
