Today is never over ...
It goes on forever ...
Why will the voices not go away?
Will the tumor in my head ever stop moving?
What is for lunch today?
You have a lovely day, for I am having the time of my life.

Pics from Saturday's trip
Just a few pics from our trip...
Mary at Table Rock Dam, the first break...
Just after we went down here, I saw 2 divers coming up from deep as they had full wetsuits on. 10 feet deep. The one on the right had his face planted in the rock wall. I signalled the other, looking at me, "are you ok?" He signalled "I am OK" I signalled "what's wrong with him?" He advised "I don't know"
The diver with his face to the wall came up fast and stopped and looked at me, took his 2nd stage out of his face and signalled "I am out of air, help!!" I reached for my Octopus as did his buddy, then, knowing we were only 10 or less feet from the surface, motioned to the top, "Go Up Fast!" We did. Surfaced. His face was red and he was gasping for air, but ok. He said he came up the wall way too fast and was afraid he was in trouble. He calmed down and (I hope) realized he did not come up too fast.
Mary said the young diver (buddy) with him was his Divemaster. Uh huh. I think the 2 should take basic over again.
During training several years ago in swift water recovery of bodies, vehicles and planes, and crime scene evidence with Dr. Lee Somers (one of the founders of PADI) in St. Louis, we studied 34 diver deaths where there should not have been any accident. In 90% of the deaths, we learned that it was
panic that killed the divers. Might have been Nitrogen Narcosis.
Don't panic, just come up 60 feet a minute, or, better yet, don't go that deep in the first place.

It's Friday for you, Monday for me...
Hi there blog-world humans.
Time to add something here for this week.
All caught up on the household chores, sept for watering the new grass out in the back yard.... we went to Emporia last night on the Harley and ate at the Village Inn there, bad foor, poorer service. I need to keep a list of bad places to stay away from as I can't remember shit anymore with my old age and all. Went back home on Hwy 99 and it was a nice trip.
Speaking of old age, I had a race out of work the other day (I won) and I was totally pooped out. I need to stop the smoking and eating too much, and ride my bicycle a bit for aerobic excersize.
I put up new pics on the website last night. Click on my scuba pic below and you will go there. New main page, but use the links on the left side, go to the pics pages and hit "monthly...." and see where you go.
Also had a great day with the wife on Saturday, see the pics from Beaver and Table Rock on the pics page or from the Summer/Scuba page.
I need to go get on the bike now, and have a smoke.
Later, bloggers.
