    Man you arent messing around!! That`s some serious dive equiptment! Sure beats the old scuba gear.

    I love diving too, but im too unhealthy from smoking so many years to even think about trying it again until i can quit the winstons.

    I'm attacking my garage in a big way. Gonna use this winter to get the Vette ready for spring paint so I've got to make room to move.

    My son and Grandkids coming up from Ft Bragg for Chrismas, will spend some extra time with my son. He is being shipped out to Afgan again this time for one year.

    Holiday fun is when everyone else is out of town for the Holidays, the phone seldom rings, and I can spend all the time I want UNINTERRUPTED in the shop!!!!!!

    Once I finish work on Christmas eve, I plan on taking the rest of the year off and spending some quality time in the garage. I bought some sheet metal last week and will hopefully have fewer holes when the Jan. 1st rolls around.

    Went and visited my brother and his family yesterday. I got them a slot car track with loop the loops and banked turns. His 11 year old son and 15 year old daughter helped me and my bother build it, and then started the racing. Man those little cars are fast!

    Stovens,
    Had one of those years back with a NASCAR style high bank oval main turn and flat road cource - no loops. You'll have a ball with that setup!! Enjoy it - they grow fast!!

    Is that a rebreather?

    This picture of the IMAX underwater photographers we had on board filming the IMAX Underwater 3D movie. very interesting working and diving with them.
    They had all the toys.

    Yes, it's just about all I use anymore, I have different ones for different types of diving. the one in my photo is like the yellow one in your photo, it's called an Inspiration and can give up to 10 hours of air. They are all computer controlled.

    Wow 10 hours! At best I'd do an hour and 15 on a 80 Aluminum Tank down off Annacapa Island! Those rebreathers back in the 60's were always great in the james bond films, where they cut the hose and air went everywhere, the bad guys looked like they couldn't breath, when all that was really going on was exhaust bubbles flowing out! Didn't know you dived Ken! Is that a dry suit too?

    Ken, diving in tropical waters seems to me like an ideal vacation. But for me those waters are a minimun of 1200 miles away. So for my holidays I plan on feasting on some terrific food, indulging in some strong spirits and putting my butt in a recliner next to a roaring fireplace. Especially since it will be about 17 degrees outside.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday!!
