Classic Car thread
Crap - can't edit for too long. Wouldn't save Sent it to a very good shop in Michigan since I didn;t have time to do it Engine was toast - those push rods are even rusted Pretty much everything replaced and painted Underside gets painted - frame was "crusty" but OK. original wood floorboards Front suspension Rear was very crusty New tank and cleaning and paint Talking with them about the paint job. I will do the interior myself. The paint job currently on it was done by my Dad in 1980 in our garage. Probably cost 500 bucks or so counting a huge compressor. Today's paint job are a lot more.

Scuba Diving Assholes of Surly
I would never trust an on line scuba course. Kinda like learning to ride a bike from a book. You have to get in the water.

Alex City was easy compared to Goodwater and a few others. On the plus side you could drive thru The Narrows

Ski Season 2020/2021
I may b wrong on this since it has been a few years but I think a lot of them are at Deer Valley. Which is still my favorite ski destination but it is high end.

Scuba Diving Assholes of Surly
I am officially mad now. Went thru the entire house and no fins to be found. No clue what happened to them a couple years ago when I moved. Did find a pair of US Divers Graphite Comp Pro that I forgot I had but I am frustrated that I can't find Dad's old Scubapro Jet fins. Those things are timeless - 50 years later they stll sell the identical model.

As I mentioned I started in 70's and the requirements were a lot different. I learned from some ex navy divers who taught the course and they added a free ascent from 50-60 feet as part of open water. You also had to pass a blackout test in the pool where you has a blacked out mask and the instructors did things like turn off your air, flood your mask etc to see if you would panic. I looked back at my old textbook once and you had tests on partial prssures and had to know how the different regulators worked by drawing diagrams of the stages. No idea if they were just adding things but it did help you to not panic if things went south

That show introduced a lot of people to scuba. It also had some interesting gear. At times he was diving with triples and only a web strap to hold them on his back. Had to be uncomftorable

My vintage Scubapro Jet Fins and US Diver Rocket fins seem to still be in a box somehwhere after moving back here in 2017. Which is odd becuase they were hanging in closet next to BC and wet suit bth of which are in a closet now. Gonna be pissed if I lost those moving. Jet Fins were my dads and had tons of dives with astronauts in them

A few old equipment photos Real early (late 40's) Couteau Gagnon regulator. paid 5 bucks at garage sale in high school. Dove with it a few times in safe area - quarry where I could get to surface if it failed

I will try to grab a few photos of some of the retro gear - just to show where scuba was a while back.

Scuba Diving Assholes of Surly
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.

Auburn fires Gus Malzahn
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.

I probably could have gone another decade without hearing Henson's name. Talk about scorched earth and radio stations.

Auburn fires Gus Malzahn
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).

Auburn fires Gus Malzahn
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.

Shit's Borked
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
