I haven't dived since my daughter was born going on 17 years now.

The ol' you can't afford it anymore and its not a family activity.

I have a 48x42x42 Greenlee job box filled to the lid with double of everything.

Haven't peeked inside in years, its going to be like opening a tomb.

I bet the two dry-suits are as fragile as mummy wrappings.

I have a twin aluminum 80's on a forged manifold plus a twin steel 120's one a dual regulator manifold.

Then I have an 'old' steel 72 with a K-valve as my salvage bottle and a small pony bottle.

I was gearing up for the fledgling days of Technical Wreck Diving when I tore a ligament in my ankle.

Now I am like a twin screw ship with only one shaft online, I can't contend with currents.

I can't control the one fin, so I had been staying to small lakes and back stoking out on the surface, then sink to the bottom, then 'walk' with my hands as I cruised the bottom back to shore.

I wanted to get an underwater scooter, but family comes first.

Sorry I haven't been checking my email for a while, been busy at work. .............Now that I am laid off Il'l have more time
I'm interested in the go karting, but unfortunately I am on a very limited budget now.
Just some ideas for future GTG.
A few years ago I put together a Saturday event for a company I worked for. We went to the Haul of Fame truck museum in Plainfield,CT. If you look it up on the web you will come across some articles written about people who have been there. This place is in the middle of no where, but he has moreMacks in his museum than Mack does. It is stricktly a view only museum( no climbing on the stuff) It is run by volunteers. They ask for a monetary donation to support the place. It is heated, and has a confrence room with a large table.
Another thought was the truck show at the Brooklyn Fair grounds, it use to be held on or abouts around Fathers day.
Let me know if you guys are intersted, I could start putting together some information.

George, sorry to hear about your layoff.
Remember there is no fee associated with joining the Connecticut Chapter of FTE

George, there is no harm in compiling the information, then I can added it to my list of proposed GTG's.

That link I inserted above is from the Connecticut Museum Quest must be some more good ideas in their site.
