Excellent!

Yep, just tried putting Rob on ignore myself. His title shows as senior member, but unable to "ignore" him due to him still being a mod. Darn it! HAHA

Picked up my Advanced card yesterday. Rescue class is probably late September. Can't wait to dive Wednesday! Leave Tuesday. It's an 8 hour drive...

Iris, 3 days of diving, 2 dives each morning.

I had my night class Saturday evening. I'm very happy to report that I've now gotten my Advanced rating! You needed 4 separate specialties, plus 25...

The Kindle Paperwhite is much easier on your eyes than a computer/tablet. It's a dedicated eReader and doesn't have the shiny/reflective screen.

I completed my 50th dive yesterday! :0!:D Had to take a commemorative pic! The thing on my forehead is my mask turned backwards (how you're supposed...

The vinegar/Dawn/warm water spray on worked FAB! Holy cow! Most of the soap scum came off rather easily. There was a tougher spot or two that I ended...

I get about 33 mph in my Focus. I've been thinking about trading up to an Escape SUV once this car is paid off, but the lack of car payments and the...

Here in the Chicago area I'm paying about $2.30 outside of Cook County. Crook has its own gas tax on top of state and fed, which is crazy. I usually...

I'm going to try this today as my tub is in bad shape and I don't feel like scrubbing with the magic easer.

I really haven't bought many clothes for a couple of years now. Last year I bought a pair of jeans, a dress, a couple of t-shirts, and a bit of...

The bed is too high for my tastes. While I like the overall concept, the room is also too cluttered for my tastes. Needs less stuff in it.

Those magic eraser things are the best thing since sliced bread, IMO, for cleaning a tub. You do have to scrub, but they work wonders.

I dove the Great Lakes for the first time yesterday! Southern Lake Michigan, out of Hammond, IN. Buddy took the great pic of me, and I uploaded my...

I am in no way sticking up for Chicago, but the Illinois State Police have jurisdiction over highways. The Chicago Police Dept has jurisdiction OFF...

Bae, are you aware that folks with carry permits from their state of residence are allowed to car carry in IL? It's written right into our carry law....

Public sector pensions are a huge liability for IL. They cannot be altered at all. This was written into the 1970 state constitution. The GA (General...

Do you know anything about IL politics? The speaker of the state house, Michael Madigan, has been a state rep since 1971. He's been speaker, except...

Chicago is a cesspool, as well as Cook County and the entire danged state. Michael Madigan has more power than the danged governor and is holding...

Welcome back.
