just testing

I'm sure you're going crazy Jenni. Soon, it'll all be over & you'll be relaxing with your wogga wogga, soaking up the Bonaire sunsets in real life. wah!!!! I wanna go, too. Don't have to link through Florida, do you? I'm pretty small, I can fit in your suitcase.

here's someone's who waiting for you and the beginning of the sunset hour.

GMTA club is now officially in session.

GMTA????

Hah - I almost just posted that Princess Parrotfish from 16:32 - glad I looked first, Cindy!



It's mid-80s today here and really comfortable if you aren't in the sun. Temps dropping to the 60s in the next few days. Our heat wave is over, I guess. The temp Tuesday was mid-90s, broke the record from 1980 by about 15 degrees. I'm thinking of raising palm trees and cycads. LOL

visitor, doesn't look too happy and I can't read the sign. Looks like Jake something. Jake, did you forget to pay Uncle Louie again????

Cindy - the sign says, I'm not coming back - something...

now who is this????
and I got these from the achives, tho' they have probably been on earlier today

I was wrong. the top is something like I'm or Fang, but the bottom is Sandy and Jeff

sorry for the duplication

I'm not coming back - SEND MY JEEP! (I think!)

and a gmta

OK Rusty, I think we've got it now. "I'm not coming back, Sandy & Jeff" What teamwork.

just got the quotes for the truck. I think we're set (fingers crossed).

Blimey, you guys are fast.....

Hi Jenni! Good to see you popping in - despite all the stuff you have to get ready.

The DUPES are fine. They happen to all of us. It's better than missing shots, right?

I think you're right Rusty. it does say send my jeep. See what'll happen to your eyesight in 6 months when you're as old as I am now. LOL

Denise: Great Minds Think Alike...

getting some color here

Martin, where did you come from and where is Denise?

Never mind. totally missed her inquiry. Sorry, really do need to put on the old reading glasses.

Martin, hey! Where ya been? Packing?? All you need is bathing suit and your gear, right? Is it still nice over your way?

Hi Denise, yep, GMTA for those times when we're all on the same wavelength. LOL Scary thought.

It's tough to read a pen on cardboard, I hardly think a spry young thang like you needs to worry, Cindy. I blew up the large photo then raised the contrast some and it *sort of* showed up. You have to clear your mind, though (easy for MOI!)

Hi Cindy and Rusty, I've been around. Posting in other treads and lurking. I'm not packing jet, I don't leave for a week, so I've got enough time... And my gear is not complete yet... Tomorrow I'm going to get my new BCD... Finally, after 7 weeks....

I don't know, I was reading Josie's thread about lazik (sp?) and it sure sounds tempting. I reacted to a new contact last year and lost about 1/2 my vision for 3 months. Wasn't fun. It's back to my normal (for me) now, but it'd be so nice not to worry about it.

Rusty, you know it only takes guys about 10 minutes to pack. trunks, pair of shorts and dive gear....LOL

Martin, we know you'll show up at the reef cam, how about the street this time?

We were on the street cam. I'll look in the archives. Back in a moment....

A little sequence shot here

Look this is us....

thanks, must have missed you. I remember seeing Andy and his group there.

Hiya Rusty, Hiya Cindy, Hiya Martin
I'm just having a little break, with my wogga wogga and then finish off my end of month invoices, which I'm sending now seeing as I will be away at the end of the month.

I started a new thread - so we can mosey on over there, pardners, any old time we please! I'll be in and out for the next hour or so - grilling burgers and having tuna/mac salad with it. Might as well enjoy our early (fleeting) summertime!



Martin - I remember those! You might have been the first person I *knew* on cam!

Cindy, but I'll visit Jake and Linda. Just keep an eye open for a good looking lady and me....

it is wogga time, isn't it? even here on the right coast. Guess that also means I have to give some thought to dinner. Better run see what's in the fridge. I'll check back later.

Rusty, I doubt anyone knows me... I don't even know myself.....

Jenni - yeah, guess it isn't a good idea sending your bills out from Bonaire! Rubbing it in. I'm here, you're not! LOL
