  1. I will try to grab a few photos of some of the retro gear - just to show where scuba was a while back.
  2. Been certified since 70's when diving was a lot different - pressure guage was optional etc. Caymans, Cozumel etc. Used to go to the Keys every summer in high school. Dad got into it at NASA in 70's. Neutral Buoyancy was in Huntsville and he worked for NASA. They taught scuba to some of the engineers and they were "lifeguards" for astronauts a few days a month. Lots of trips to quarries and odd places around South and even dove down to Sealab off Panama City. Haven't dove in a while and miss it. Still have some of my 70's gear for retro.
  3. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kinda figured this would turn out badly. However a couple of glass half full thoughts. The last 2 coaches Lowder pushed turned out pretty good until their last year or two. Bowden and Tubbs were very successful for a while. I was also thinking what Auburn really needs is two items and neither is head coach territory. First is a decent OC who can develop talent - There is a decent amount of offensive talent there. Second is a good recruiter to get talent ( legally - just to stop the automatic bagman replies). I know of a couple of very good ones that would come probably come back to Auburn if the situation was good. The head coach would have to figure this out. However I am stunned that Steele is thought that highly off - but I really liked his defense so there is that. On the other hand this is Auburn and we could mess up anything.
  4. I probably could have gone another decade without hearing Henson's name. Talk about scorched earth and radio stations.
  5. I have one who I am not naming but he isn't on any of the "lists". Young guy who has a lot of good rep. Not sure if he is ready for big leagues yet. I could also see a sleazeball hire like Petrino (if you remember Auburn sprung him on the college football world in 2002).
  6. A few thoughts - first I do think it was time. SI had a very good article that pointed out that he was refusing to adapt to the defenses that had adapted to his offense. He did not develop talent like a coach should. I think he is a fantastic person and have heard no ex player say anything bad so I wish him the best. It's also not 21M all at once - think it is half and then the rest over 3 or 4 years so it isn't too bad. My problem is going to be that the powers that be will find a way to screw this up by meddling (which a horrible but true tradition). Sometimes the meddling works out - Bowden was was fantastic for 3-4 years and Tuberville was great for 7-8 but the meddling doesn't end after the hire - it just continues. They need to get a coach that can develop talent - Malzahn had top 10-15 recruiting classes multiple times without that talent improving. One thing I loved about Tuberville was his ability to see potential and develop it (he claimed he learned from Jimmy Johnson) which hasn't happened since. They also need a coach to tell them to stay out of the football business but I just don't see that happening.
  7. What is going on with the extra space in the header? When I open a section like Football on my laptop under Firefox there is like a 1 inch high section with the word Football and nothing else. Takes up lots of space. I literally can only see the first message without scrolling
  8. Not looking it up but isn't he in a state prison not federal?
  9. My 2001 4Runner. Bought it new in 2000. Let my nieces have it for a couple of years but got it back earlier this year. Picture is around 2010
  10. Nothing personal but your question indicates you are probably a novice at this. There is really not a good way to learn all the traps that people are using these days. The bad guys are very good and very determined in this market. I would really suggest finding someone who does this and spending some time understanding what the traps are. otherwise you are very vulnerable here. And I am not that person - I just have read too much on some of the forums about the bad guys. If my assumptions are wrong then I apologize in advance
  11. Better hope you don't tear up a knee skiing and have to use crutches to get to a plane. You might need to pack a lunch for that journey
  12. Going with Manning as a lock a Woodson as close. DB's have a bad track record of having to wait. Usually there is at least one lineman and one WR so Faneca and either Holt or Wayne. Either is worthy but they usually don't take two from the same team (Wayne) or two of the same position in back to back years (Holt). I could see them fixing this issue by taking both. My others would be Willis and Bocelli and then maybe Mathews.. He deserves it - anyone on an all decade team should be in
  13. This... Thought it was his Dad for a second. Upon further review it is his Dad
  14. I would like to see the game wardens or some other authority start asking him who "registered" that and where is all the inspection paperwork.
  15. You said this is a 30+ foot boat. Can't imagine powering that with any V6 short of a highly modded race engine. Take a walk around 2 or 3 boat yards and ask the mechanics what they see powering that size boat. Guessing they don't see many V-6's.
  16. The new preferred term is "Death by Powerpoint". That way you can include pages of acronyms. (retired from big blue after 30 years)
  17. slightly related but while filming a TV special in 1968 the British singer. Petula Clark held Harry Belafonte's arm. One of the sponsors representatives demanded they shoot the scene again. She and he producer (who was her husband) declined but it shows the mindset of some people in 60's
  18. Golfwrx.com has an article showing excellent game improvement sets for something like 200 bucks or so. Best bet was x20's. I had them and loved them but traded them at Golfsmith demo day to get back to Pings - which I also love.
  19. No kidding. Drove by a local gun store on friday afternoon and it was overflow parking into another lot
  20. May have posted this before but dad bought a couple of those - unfired still in cosmoline - for 5 bucks each in the 50's when he was in the Army. Sold one before he died for about 500 bucks. The other was converted to more traditional hunting rifle.
  21. Yes - lots. In addition to Reagan there was Nixon in 72 and pretty close to that was Johnson in 64
  22. I can't remember where I read it bit wasn't something like 200K voters taken off the rolls? Need to get them back in a hurry. You know the powers in that state are already working overtime to reduce minority voters.
