I have to be in Olando for work the week of January 26. (I know - getting out of Chicago in January - it’s rough!) Anyway, I’m diving Boynton on Monday, have work Tuesday - Friday BUT would be free after noon on Thursday or Friday. It would have to be not too far from Orlando because I’m busy until noon, so probably diving a spring. Just wondering if anyone is interested. (You’re welcome to join on Monday too.)

Shoot - tell Chuck it’s a business trip and come along. You can make sure that the computer he sold me works well! :) Of course, he’ll come up with some excuse like the economy is tough, or more likely - "Sure, go ahead . . . if you pay your way!" (Don’t know WHAT that man is thinking! You’d think he has a business to run or something!)


Anyway, Jacob did just fine. He’s stressing out about the exam right now. I keep telling him it’s no big deal. Just read your book, MAKE SURE you ask if you don’t get something and you’ll be fine. Guess I shouldn’t complain. He’s taking it seriously. I just want to make sure he understands it AND enjoys it.


We’ll see how Thursday goes. I have a different mask, snorkel set up for him that should work better. (It’s my old set up. I really liked it - just like what I have now more.) Also, with the regs, last week he had his retainer in when he did his exchanges. Silly kid! I’m sure that didn’t help him get that reg replaced easily. So this week I expect things to go easier for him. Now if I could just get an exposure suit that fits him and keeps him warm. Poor kid has ZERO body fat for insulation!

I’m open to locations - and willing to drive. The only restriction is travel time. I can be on the road by noon.
