WOW, I Got An OK From Better Half

[WVRICK]

I bought her a new car for Christmas, a Subaru Forester. Good for hauling equipment.

We do have local diving at a lake, Mt Storm. Lots of folks keep in practice there and they feed the catfish hot dogs so there is a bunch of moochers who show up as soon as you hit the water. I actually talked the local community college into holding a certification class where I will do a refresher and get some local dive buddies.

Sounds like a plan! Welcome back.

Hmm. Did she double your life insurance? Really friendly with the pool boy?

I once had a charter customer long ago who complained that his dive trips were getting too expensive because for every dive day for him, his credit card also paid for a full spa day and ladies luncheon at the country club for his non-diving wife.

Threads like this remind me how lucky I am that the wife both enjoys diving, and realises that I need my toys. The Wife even let me sell her hatchback so we could buy an LR3 to fit the dive gear into!

LR3 - a man after my own heart. I just bought my better half a new Freelander (LR2 in UK) as well. But I doubt it will ever see my dive gear. However as I have a Landrover Defender for hauling that it won't matter

For all those lucky ones with diving spouses I am a little envious.

I am reminded how is started scuba, and that was when my wife signed both of us up for discover scuba while on vacation in the Great Barrier Reef. She felt as long as we were all the out there might as well try it. I loved it, she hated it. Now, only two requirements she makes of me is that one, I never ask her to try scuba gain; and two, I always come home safe after every dive.

She loves that I have something like scuba that I am passionate about but I still have to discuss spending that much money on gear. And it almost three times what I paid for a set of golf clubs! Usually I have to play the trump card, "well, how much is my life worth? It's life support under water!"
